Furthermore, the operations of the subsidiary Cityline are to be discontinued with immediate effect and the employees are to be laid off, as the Handelsblatt has learned. But that’s not all: the group…
The requirements for further training in companies are increasing rapidly because new technologies – especially artificial intelligence – are changing task profiles faster than many organizations can react to them. At the HR round table “Corporate Learning” there was broad agreement on one point: the gap between technological development and collective learning is widening.
