The Bitter Truth
Credit Suisse Group AG is a global wealth manager, investment bank and financial services firm founded and based in Switzerland. Headquartered in Zürich, it maintains offices in all major financial centers around the world and is one of the nine global "Bulge Bracket" banks providing services in investment banking, private banking, asset management, and shared services. Credit Suisse is known for its strict bank–client confidentiality and banking secrecy practices.
Credit Suisse was founded in 1856 to fund the development of Switzerland's rail system. It issued loans that helped create Switzerland's electrical grid and the European rail system. In the 1900s, it began shifting to retail banking in response to the elevation of the middle class and competition from fellow Swiss banks UBS and Julius Bär. Credit Suisse partnered with First Boston in 1978. After a large failed loan put First Boston under financial stress, Credit Suisse bought a controlling share of the bank in 1988. From 1990 to 2000, the company made a series of acquisitions dramatically increasing its market share via the purchases of Winterthur Group, Swiss Volksbank, Swiss American Securities Inc. (SASI), and Bank Leu, among others.
The company restructured itself in 2002, 2004 and 2006. It was one of the least affected banks during the global financial crisis, but afterwards began shrinking its investment business, executing layoffs and cutting costs. The bank was at the center of multiple international investigation for tax avoidance which culminated in a guilty plea and the forfeiture of US$2.6 billion in fines from 2008 to 2012. In 2017, Credit Suisse had CHF 1.376 trillion of assets under management, an increase of 9.9% from 2016.
Case in hand:
During the current pandemic situation, the workload of the employees has been massive and the concept of work-life balance exists no more. Moreover, the work timings have also been affected and the employees are made to work early in the morning after finishing late at night. On interviewing some of the employees, there have been many testimonies stating that the employees no longer have the dedication and motivation to work in the organization any more. The employees also face a lot of issues like lack of Wi-Fi connectivity and lack of infrastructure to work in this grueling environment. Some feel that even when the whole family is at home, it feels as if they live miles away and don’t even get a chance to see their faces because of the long working hours.
Task in hand:
You are the CHRO of Credit Suisse and have to solve the problems of the employees by coming up with the following:
Retention Strategies for the employees.
Strategies to improve the work environment/Culture of the employees.
A set of new HR Policies related to the aforementioned problems that would be set into action immediately.
A revised compensation structure for the employees.
Deliverables:
Prepare a report of not more than 10 pages and a PPT of not more than 7 slides.
Submission Guidelines:
Mail your task to: [email protected]
Submission Deadline: 12:30 A.M., 6th November 2020
P.S. You are top 20 now. We expect creativity 😊

Haute Homes: The Diverse Luxury Digs of America’s Priciest Neighborhoods
realtor.com
Think you know how the 1% lives? Blinged-out mansions with gold errythang, elaborate custom pool grotto, and maids and butlers scurrying down long, marble-tiled hallways? Sure, places like that exist, but the reality is, what’s considered the crème de la crème of real estate varies from state to state.
Recently, the realtor.com® data team crunched the numbers and pinpointed the most expensive ZIP codes in every state in America. Some were neighborhoods in big cities, some were entire towns in themselves. The list also took us on a fascinating tour of the best that each state in the nation has to offer: mansions set on rolling, emerald lawns in Greenwich, CT; historic brownstones in Boston; and picturesque horse farms in the suburbs of Louisville, KY.
We wanted to take a closer look at what’s on the market in those swanky areas, so we sifted through our listings. Whether you’re lucky enough to have deep pockets you can turn out to buy, or you just want to check out what luxury means in your state—and others—here are 12 homes for sale right now in America’s most expensive neighborhoods.
California: 90210 67 Beverly Park Ct., Beverly Hills
Price: $165 million Palazzo perfection: This estate on 9 acres took seven years to build and, according to the listing, is one of the “finest estates ever offered in Beverly Hills.” Completed in 1998, the main house has 20 bedrooms, 16 baths, and five half-bathrooms, and measures over 20,000 square feet.
There’s also a 30-car courtyard, pool and pool house, two two-story guesthouses, a tennis court, and jogging trail that circles the entire property. If that’s not enough room for you and the fam, there’s another lot available to expand.

Colorado: 81654 1220 Watson Divide Rd., Snowmass

Delaware: 19807 10 Pyles Ford Rd., Greenville

At the same time, it’s just minutes from downtown Wilmington and Philadelphia.
The four-bedroom main house with five baths and four half-baths features a Joanne Hudson–designed kitchen, seven-zone geothermal heating, whole-home humidification system, elevator, wine cellar, and bowling alley.
