S&P Cut Adds to Fears over Co-op’s Health

Sky — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:47:32 +0000

Four years ago, after making two accuisitions that doubled the mutual in size, the Co-operative Group make the boast that the high street will never look the same again.
In 2008 the Co-op bought the Somerfield supermarket chain and then in 2009 the supermarket chain tripled the size of its banking arm to form a “super-mutual” through the acquisition of the UK’s second-largest building society at that time–Britannia.
After four years, the food business of Co-op is grappling with falling profits and the Britannia deal appears to be increasingly misguided. Co-op was know for facing a capital shortfall of as much as £1bn, which was acknowledged by banks as partially due to the collapse of a deal to acquire over 600 branches from Lloyds Banking Group.
The credit rating agency Moody’s made six-notch downgrade of the Co-op Bank last week, which shone an unwelcome spotlight on Co-op’s health. And Co-op now came under further pressure as the rating agency Standard & Poor’s changed its outlook on the group from stable to negative.

Three Things That Employees Care About

Sky — Mon, 13 May 2013 11:20:30 +0000

What motivates and engages employees most can be ascribed to many areas. To truly care about your business, your employees need the following three things from you:

1. Decent and satisfactory wages and bonuses
People work for different reasons. But no matter how, they need to guarantee that they are capable of supporting their own living at first. Having a decent and satisfactory wage and bonus at least help ensure that your employees don’t need to worry about their rent and food and focus more on the work. Besides, it is a financial way to show the recognition of the employee’s capability.

2. The corporate’s core culture
The culture of the company could help attract people with similar interest. And good company culture make staff feel relax, motivated, satisfied and a sence of belonging.

3. The opportunity to grow along with the development of the company
The companies that could make its staff see the opportunities to grow along with the company will have a better chance to motivate the staff learn more and faster for their own goods. And staff in such companies tend to stay and work for long-term.

How to Manage Time

Sky — Sun, 12 May 2013 07:52:20 +0000

If you are looking to manage your time well, here are some pieces of advice by experts from McKinsey that might help.
First of all, do not try to handle multiple tasks at the same time. Usually you tend to spend 30% more time on completing the jobs and making 100% more error than doing the things one by one.
Secondly, it is important to keep pace with the time. However, getting long exposed to the latest information in the field tends to suppress your own creativity.
Thirdly, it is important to have a sense of self-control. You will need to focus and filter unnecessary information while working, and you will also need to fix appropriate amount of time to get proper rest.
Fourthly, finding some time to actually spend by yourself if beneficial.
Fifthly, sending the same email over and over again is not necessary.
Sixthly, it is strongly suggested to make more calls to actually communicate with others and only send short emails for confirmation for the agreement between all the parties involved.
Last but not least, it is important for one to actually give up the fantasy of getting their hands on everything at workplace. It is impossible!
