Jyske Bank announced yesterday that it would seek to reduce the size of its workforce by 6.5 percent as part of an effort to save 400 million kroner annually. Some 150 employees lost their jobs effective immediately on Thursday, when the bank also announced it was closing six of its branches in the Jutland area. Another 100 positions will be eliminated, but the bank said it hoped most of those losses would come through natural attrition.
* Elimination of up to 1,000 employees could lead elimination of half of departures. State rail operator DSB is preparing a layoff round in order to deal with a revenue shortfall, the railway workers union has informed the media. "I can confirm that hundreds of employees may be fired," union chairman Ulrik Salmonsen said.
* Economic stimulus packages could do more harm than good, says Nationalbanken governor. The best thing the new government can do to help the economy is to not do anything at all, according to the central bank, Nationalbanken.
In its quarterly review of the economy, released on Tuesday, Nationalbanken lowered its predicted growth rate for 2011 from 1.7 percent last quarter to 1.4 percent. For 2012 and 2013, it said growth rates would rebound to about 1.6 percent.
* Fatty foods are about to get a lot pricier thanks to newest sin tax. If you like to indulge in a schmear of cream cheese on your morning toast, you will soon have to pay a little more for it. Not in terms of calories, but in kroner. On October 1, a new 'fat tax' comes into effect and retailers say Danish consumers are going to feel the pinch.
* Cultural expectations play an important role in all kinds of negotiations; do you know how Danes negotiate differently than people from other cultures? For foreigners in Denmark, unspoken rules and subtle cultural differences serve up curveballs in all kinds of negotiations, whether it be about a pay raise, the selling price for an apartment, or a d�tente with a noisy neighbour. "Generally speaking, culture is a huge filter and misunderstandings happen very easily because the parties have different interests. So you have to take cultural differences seriously - but in a curious way," negotiation expert and author Malene Rix told The Copenhagen Post.
