Citigroup chief executive Jane Fraser introduced a “take time to breathe” hour for its employees and cut back the length of internal meetings in the latest move at US bank as it continues tout work-life balance as a way to attract talent from its rivals.

Fraser unveiled a series of measures for staff including an hour in the day from 12-1pm to keep clear of Zoom calls, and cutting hour-long meetings down to 45 minutes in a bid to free up more space during the day, according to a memo seen by Financial News, which has also been posted on LinkedIn by Fraser.
