The government is discussing whether the waiting day should be introduced in Germany. This means that employees would not be paid wages on the first day of illness. With this regulation, which was abolished in 1970, some politicians want to motivate people in Germany to work more – also to counteract the current economic crisis.

Crisis bonus sparks emotional debate – human resources management

The relief package decided by the black-red coalition is causing quite a stir. In particular, the tax- and duty-free bonus of up to 1,000 euros is predominantly commented on with skepticism or rejection. And for a variety of reasons. The relief bonus is being discussed particularly lively on social media.

Kordes addresses Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) directly: What sounds like a friendly option to him is “often received as a…

The study setting was unusually realistic: not in the laboratory, but in real day-to-day recruiting at a large semiconductor company.

In the study “How can you attract talent? Practical results to emphasize flexibility and career opportunities in job advertisements” (translated from English,…
