The <keyword id="6354776" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Telecom">telecom</keyword> regulatory body, <keyword id="6356988" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="TRAI">TRAI</keyword> is going the digital way to deal with all your telecom services complaints. 
 Up until now the regulator diverted consumers to the grievance redressal page of the telecom operator’s portal but now they seem to have taken the matter in their own hands. Call drops have been a big concern for consumers across India and its high time something was done about it. Most of the telecom operator fall below the quality of service mark in the drive tests carried out by the regulator. Telecom regulator, <keyword id="45826" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="RS-Sharma">RS Sharma</keyword> said “Compared to other sectors, telecom is very different for addressing consumer complaints, while other sectors have large value complaints, in telecom value of complaints is very small but number of customer is one billion. We can’t expect them to head to a consumer court for a Rs. 20 issue.” To fix this, the regulator hosted its very first <keyword id="1604076" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="hackathon">hackathon</keyword> getting on board coders, students even professionals with 10yr experience to find a digital solution to improve the overall consumer experience. 
 
Here are some cool solutions from the participants that the telecom regulator could put in action soon. 
 
Portal 
 The <keyword id="41511" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="idea">idea</keyword> is to develop a portal where consumers can directly come and register their complaints. Consumers will have to mention the telecom operator and the kind of issue faced by them. It will also tell you exactly what is happening with the filed complaint. The portal will also include a Bot platform. 
 
Web Platform 
 
When the customer uses this platform to register their complaint the complaints will simultaneously go to the regulator and the operator and there will be parallel processing of data. The regulator will keep a check on how the consumer complaint has been addressed by the operators. Here consumers can also keep a tab on all information related to their operator. 
 
Apps 
 
The telecom regulator is also looking at creating apps to address consumer complaints. The TRAI already has two apps running, TRAI DND and other TRAI Speed. The new app being discussed is to improve user experience. Along with registering complaints these apps will also be helpful for the consumers in terms of giving them useful information of their data usage, no. of call drops, signal strength and balance. 
 
While these do sound like a convenient and easy way for consumers to voice their issues, we hope it’s also a faster way for the regulator to tackle them.

India’s Telecom regulator just hosted a hackathon to solve consumer issues and here’s all that’s cool about it

By Olivia Grace, senior director of product, Slack Even without a global pandemic, national inflation and climate concerns, workers have been stressed to the point of burnout, thanks to an always-on, must-succeed-at-all-costs, it's-me-against-the-world attitude that is celebrated everywhere you look, from TV shows like Succession to billionaire executives bragging about their 100-hour work weeks.Luckily (and maybe inevitably), the tide is turning. Employees and companies are putting more emphasis on working mindfully and expending energy at a sustainable level. To some, this may feel like an uphill battle: When we're fielding countless emails, messages and calls, how can we stay focused enough to slow down?When we work smarter, not harder, we can harness our work tools and use technology to our advantage. Here are some ways to slow down and level up. <h2>No-meeting Fridays and Maker Weeks </h2>We all know the feeling when a day is so full of meetings that you need an entire extra workday to get anything done. Meeting creep can happen when we try to keep everyone in the loop — without thinking about whether or not they really need to join.At Slack, we've implemented new, digital-first ways of working, to allow for more freedom to focus and fit non-traditional obligations into the workday. These include <a href="https://slack.com/blog/news/focus-fridays-and-maker-weeks-at-slack#:~:text=During%20Maker%20Weeks%2C%20which%20happen,time%20and%20a%20deeper%20reset." target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Maker Weeks</a>, when teams cancel all internal recurring meetings to focus on "making" things, and reset and assess the meetings on their calendars to decide if they serve a purpose. We also have <a href="https://slack.com/blog/news/focus-fridays-and-maker-weeks-at-slack#:~:text=On%20Focus%20Fridays%2C%20teams%20cancel%20all%20internal%20meetings%20and%20employees%20are%20encouraged%20to%20turn%20off%20their%20notifications%20so%20they%20can%20work%20without%20interruptions." target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Focus Fridays</a>, when teams cancel all internal meetings for the day and turn off notifications to achieve flow and work uninterrupted.These programs are intended to shift mindsets around the purpose of meetings, to explore new ways to achieve the same goals, and to give employees more autonomy over how they use their single most valuable asset: time. <h2>Embracing the digital flexibility in HQ</h2>Operating from a <a href="https://slack.com/digital-hq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">digital HQ</a>, companies can discover more flexible ways to work with all their people, apps and partners in one space. Using Slack as the command center of the workday means that no matter where you physically are — in the office, at home or somewhere in between — you're equipped to be efficient and productive, on your own schedule. No more hustling to jam everything into 9 to 5.That flexibility makes space for new ways to work smarter, not harder. Ashley Kramer, the chief marketing and strategy officer at GitLab, champions workplace flexibility for her employees. Whether hitting the slopes or working from another city, she has made flexible work at her all-remote company fit any lifestyle. During a Frontiers 2022 "<a href="https://slack.com/intl/en-au/events/crack-the-code-on-remote-work-2">Crack the Code on Remote Work</a>" session, Kramer shared, "The digital headquarters means remote and real, and all it takes to create that collaborative and creative environment is having the right toolkit, living your values and thriving together as a company." In short: Your digital HQ is a way to work, not a place to work.Teams working across various time zones can schedule messages so their colleagues get them when they are online and active. Defining when and how teams are expected to be available simultaneously shows trust in employees while giving them the space they need to thrive.<h2>Tap into the power of your status emoji</h2>Most people know that the green dot in Slack means active. But your status can also speak volumes, thanks to custom statuses. You can quickly indicate that you're busy making lunch, taking your child to sports practice or engaging in a moment of meditation during a self-care break.Additionally, Do Not Disturb (DND) settings can turn off notifications, giving your brain a break and some much-needed focus time. By customizing your Slack settings, you can control when and how colleagues reach out to you.<h2>Jump in a huddle to reduce meetings</h2>Slow work is the antithesis of being busy just to be busy. For true collaboration, employees can use <a href="https://slack.com/blog/collaboration/companies-coworking-huddles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Slack huddles</a> for quick, lightweight and informal audio-first conversations or for deeper coworking sessions, with multi-person screen sharing and video as an option.Slack is deeply ingrained at T-Mobile, with over 170,000 active channels, 45,000 workflows and 9 million emoji reactions used per month. But its employees' favorite feature to unlock efficiency? Huddles. Tamara Jensen, a principal technical product manager at T-Mobile, who recently spoke at <a href="https://slack.com/blog/collaboration/companies-coworking-huddles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Dreamforce 2022</a>, focuses on driving efficiency across the entire organization with a major strategy encouraging teams to cut down on meetings.Instead of waiting days or even weeks for an open calendar slot, teammates can jump into a spontaneous huddle to discuss blockers, brainstorm ideas and resolve escalated issues right away."If you need to have a conversation, you're not going to schedule it with a calendar; you're going to stay in Slack," Jensen said. "With huddles, we can look at each other on video. We can thread the conversation. We can share screens with our colleagues. Huddles keeps teams moving, with work in one place."<h2>Find your voice with clips </h2>At Slack, we avoid unnecessary meetings with the help of <a href="https://slack.design/articles/the-story-of-slack-clips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clips</a>. Employees can record and send videos of themselves and their screens to share important updates and developments — there's no need to find a time when everyone is free for a call."Slack really accelerates the way we operate, giving everyone across teams, time zones and physical spaces accessible tools, like clips and virtual standups, to collaborate asynchronously with each other," said Steve Bottomley, the IT director of Ocado Group, a British grocery technology business.<h2>Build workflow, automate tasks</h2>Today, employees don't need to rely on developers or a designated IT team to design complex workflows. Anyone has the power to use no-code or <a href="https://slack.com/blog/transformation/new-slack-platform-digital-hq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">low-code features in Slack</a> to automate admin work and repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable chunks of time to work on more strategic and meaningful work.The <a href="https://slack.com/customer-awards" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">2022 Slack Spotlight Award</a> for Digital HQ Excellence winner, IBM, is building a digital headquarters where teams directly impact how the company automates work. During the <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/plus/experience/slack_frontiers_2022/series/Top_Slack_Frontiers_Moments/episode/episode-s1e1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Frontiers 2022 keynote</a>, Jenn Booth, IBM's global Salesforce partner for consulting sales strategy and products, said that the company's thriving culture comes from asking employees what they need and giving them the tools to get work done. "With a digital headquarters, it's for them to build for themselves," she said. Access to simple and convenient tools enables people to create workflows that automate time-consuming processes—all without code and without ever having to leave Slack.<a href="https://slack.com/digital-hq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Learn how Slack can help you work smarter.</a>This post was created by Slack with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sponsor-posts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Insider Studios</a>.

The tariffs will increase to 25% on January 1, 2019, unless the US and China agree on a trade deal.The escalation of the US-China trade war was quickly criticized by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers along with many business groups. All of the critiques centered on economists warnings that the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-tariff-trade-war-states-with-most-imports-from-china-2018-8">tariffs would ultimately harm</a> US business and consumers by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-tariff-trade-war-cost-consumers-prices-chick-fil-a-2018-7">raising prices on imported goods</a> from China.Additionally, concerns about China's retaliatory action on US agricultural goods popped up from farmers groups.Here's a rundown of the criticism from lawmakers, business groups, and conservative interest groups:<ul><li>Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND): "The reckless escalation of the administration's trade war is having serious consequences for rural America, which is already suffering from the uncertainty and low commodity prices caused by the disruptions to our markets," Heitkamp said.</li><li>Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX, chair of the House Ways and Means committee): "Any time tariffs are imposed I worry that Americans will be forced to pay extra costs - in this case on nearly half of US imports from China," Brady said. "I continue to emphasize that the ultimate means to create an effective outcome is for President Trump and President Xi to engage constructively to develop a long-term and profound solution that levels the playing field for American manufacturers, farmers, and workers."</li><li>National Retail Federation: "Every time this trade war escalates, the risk to US consumers grows. With these latest tariffs, many hardworking Americans will soon wonder why their shopping bills are higher and their budgets feel stretched," Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the NRF, said.</li><li>National Associations of Manufacturers: "No one wins in a trade war, and manufacturing workers are hopeful the administration's approach will quickly yield results. Now is the time for talks-not just tariffs-and manufacturers have laid out a blueprint to reset the US-China commercial relationship that will result in ending China's unfair and anti-competitive behavior," Jay Timmons, NAM's president and CEO, said.</li><li>Consumer Technology Association: "Today's retaliatory tariffs are not an effective trade policy and may violate US law. Congress has not given the president or the USTR a blank check to pursue a trade war," Gary Shapiro, CTA's president and CEO, said. "These new retaliatory tariffs run afoul of the carefully tailored provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, which require any action to be within the scope of the Section 301 investigation. We urge the administration to reconsider its misguided approach of increasing tariffs, as they are directly paid for by American companies and consumers."</li><li>Americans For Farmers &amp; Families: "As trade tensions escalate, and our ability to sell our goods to major markets diminishes, we're having to make long-term business decisions that could affect our farms for generations," Casey Guernsey, a seventh-generation farmer and spokesperson for AFF said. "Many family farmers are canceling new projects, selling their equipment and livestock, and even thinking about closing their operations entirely."</li><li>Freedom Partners (conservative lobbying group): "These tariffs are 'all pain, no gain' for American businesses and workers. Countless American employers weighed in on this idea during the comment period and told the administration these tariffs would be job-killers.
