Tired staff a Cup concern
Human resources managers are biting their nails ahead of the World Cup, worried about the effect of successive late nights on their staff, a Shanghai newspaper said yesterday. China is six hours ahead of Germany, meaning many of the games will be shown live in the early hours of the morning. "More than 70 percent of those surveyed said they thought the World Cup would influence company business, while 20 percent said they were nervous about the event's arrival," the Shanghai Daily said, quoting a survey conducted by ChinaHR.com, a leading headhunter.
