A video has gone viral showing eight employees standing on a stage before being asked by a man with a microphone why they ranked last in the days training.
The man – ‘motivational speaker’ Jiang Yang – then struck each employee on the buttocks with a stick as more than 200 of their peers watched on.
Yang was reportedly hired by the Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank to run a “performance breakthrough” course.”
Local media also reported that 16 employees had their heads shaved as punishment during the training session.
Since the video was released, two executives have been suspended, BBC reports.
Furthermore, Yang has also issued an apology, saying the spanking was “a training model I have tried for years” and had not been instigated by executives at the bank.
