Staff spanked & shaved in 'improper' training session

The Chairman of a Chinese bank has been suspended after staff were spanked and had their hair cut off during a “performance breakthrough” course.

Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank hired a training company to run a "performance breakthrough" course, the BBC reports.

During the course eight employees - four men and four women - who achieved low scores were paraded on stage in front of colleagues while trainer Jiang Yang walked down the line and spanked their behinds with a large stick.

He also shaved the men’s heads and cut the women’s hair.
