This document is a report on productivity during Ramadan based on a survey and analysis. The survey received over 1,500 responses from Muslims in OIC and non-OIC countries. Key findings include that most Muslims try to maintain the same work productivity during Ramadan but face challenges with increased spiritual activities. Employers can improve support by accommodating prayer times and setting flexible hours. Governments should evaluate economic impacts of reduced work hours and potential alternatives to support workers' spiritual needs. The report provides recommendations for individuals, employers, and governments to strengthen productivity during Ramadan.
For the estimated 700 million Muslim global workforce, the sacred month of Ramadan has tremendous impact on work-life balance and spiritual life. Businesses and governments face many challenges balancing and adapting to their workers’ Ramadan needs, while striving for consistent productive output.
This groundbreaking study presents a fact-based assessment of the state of productivity during Ramadan across the world and offers recommendations for improving productivity of individuals, businesses and government institutions. The study includes 1), a survey that benchmarks actual Ramadan practices and Muslims’ expectations, and 2) an assessment of governmental policy implications on work-hour differences in various Muslim majority countries and their resulting economic impact.

A Study on Training and Development at Bharathi AssociatesProjects Kart
Employee training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge so that employee is better equipped to do his present job, or to prepare him for a higher position with increased responsibilities. However individual growth is not and ends in itself. Organizational growth need to be measured along with individual growth. Training refers to the teaching/learning activities done for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire and apply the knowledge skills, abilities, and attitude needed by that organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job.

‘London has become a major financial capital of the Muslim world.’ That statement may sound alarming at first, given that the United Kingdom is rightly a Christian country with an established Church.
Yet, it is thanks to this, and her evolution as a parliamentary democracy that has led to many British Muslims making this country their home, contributing to the UK economy and helping Britain become ever more prosperous.
Britain has had a long history with the Muslim world. Not just through the days of colonialism, but also as equal partners in trade.

The face of Britain has changed. Among the heroes of Britain’s 2012 Olympic triumph were a Somali immigrant and a mixed-race girl fromYorkshire. Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis captured the spirit of the nation and came to represent Britain’s incredible diversity. Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people now make up a significant and fast-growing part of the population. However, understanding of these communities has not kept up with their rising importance.
From a political perspective, few attempts have been made to properly understand Britain’s minority communities and there is a tendency in the media to assume that all BME communities can be treated as a single political entity – as if all ethnic minorities held similar views and lived similar lives.
The analysis found a statistically significant relationship between a more diverse leadership and better financial performance. The companies in the top quartile of gender diversity were 15 percent more likely to have financial returns that were above their national industry median. Companies in the top quartile of racial/ethnic diversity
were 30 percent more likely to have financial returns above their national industry median. Companies in the bottom quartile for both gender and ethnicity/race were statistically less likely to achieve above-average financial returns than the average companies in the dataset
Overall the top leadership of the FTSE 100 remains white and male, with just a dozen women amongst the 289 people occupying the Top 3 positions: chair, cEO or cFO. Just ten of the Top 3 posts are held by ethnic minority leaders.
• The next layer – the Top 20 – is more diverse, with about a fifth of positions occupied by women; but these are heavily skewed towards non-executive posts – about one in four nEDs are women, compared with about one in ten female executive directors.
• Strikingly, 53 companies show no minority presence at all amongst their Top 20 leaders. Discounting non-executive directors, we find 65 companies without an ethnic or cultural minority presence. In effect, two out of every three FTSE 100 companies have an all-white executive leadership.
