Human resources management: Mr. Bielmann, “Why real talent not only has to be found, but also developed” is the title of the panel in which you are taking part together with Luisa Hummel and Arndt Zeitz at “Schicht im Schacht”. What do you understand by “real” talent – and why is pure recruiting not enough? Jens Bielmann: For us, a real talent is a person who not only performs strongly today, but above all has the ability, ambition and commitment to grow into larger and more complex roles. It is precisely these three pillars that form the basis of our…
The television cameras caught the acting president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, by surprise, two weeks ago with a serious gesture on the street of Génova. The popular candidate in the last Aragonese elections had just left the national headquarters of the PP, where he held a meeting with the general secretary, Miguel Tellado, just a few hours after the leadership of the Popular Party confirmed that it was going to get involved in the negotiations with Vox to form a government in both Extremadura and Aragon and thus “take” the “reins” of the conversations. As this newspaper published, Alberto Núñez…
The modern corporate environment has transcended the physical office. As organizations globally move toward permanent hybrid and distributed models, the reliance on a fragmented “tech stack” has revealed significant operational gaps. To bridge these gaps, forward-thinking enterprises are adopting workplace platforms as the central nervous system of their business operations. A unified digital strategy is no longer a luxury for tech startups; it is a fundamental requirement for any organization seeking to maintain productivity and cultural cohesion in a decentralized world. By providing a “digital headquarters,” these platforms ensure that every team member remains aligned with the company’s mission, regardless…
“That they sign up and have their moment of glory in this media circus is a mistake.” This is how former ministerial advisor Koldo García spoke before warning that he would not answer the questions asked by the commission of inquiry into public adjudications of the Government of Navarra in the regional Parliament. From the Soto del Real prison, where he has been in preventive detention since November ahead of the trial for case maskshas assured that he will demonstrate in court that “everything they are saying (about him) is atrocities”, that “the truth” will become known over time and…
When digitalization, including social media and AI, didn’t cause anyone to lose sleep, personnel search demonstrated a creative mastery that today leaves many recruiters in awe. When Thomas Perlitz remembers what was possible under his leadership as head of human resources at Ingram Micro, Henkel or Gerresheimer, it just pours out of him: On public transport, “which brought shift workers from other companies to the factory and home,” recruiters gave fiery speeches with the aim of convincing the hard workers to change. And to get young people interested in training, Perlitz bought an entire cinema screening – “including popcorn for…
Mr. Enrique Fink takes the keys to the British cemetery in Valencia from his pocket. He wants to show one of the tombs in the compound. The unique necropolis, property of the British Royal Crown, houses the remains of his ancestor Henry Fink, murdered in 1868. Henry’s descendant has narrated that crime in a novel: The death of English (No Man’s Land, in Spanish; Reclam, in Valencian). But Fink is interested in another grave: that of the Bacharach family. The weather has worn away the stone with the identity of those buried: Karl, born in 1885; Franzisca (1891); and the…
With an article about an alleged escort of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, US Energy Secretary Wright briefly caused a reduction in the price of oil. A little later the tweet disappears. Now the White House is also speaking out.
The Government strongly disagrees with the disruptive vision of the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who thinks that the multilateral order based on rules is part of the past while the crisis unleashed by the war in Iran does not subside despite the fact that Donald Trump has declared it “practically over.” “The dilemma is not an old order versus A new order is an international order versus the international disorder, which led us to two world wars. The world is changing, but the values and principles of the European Union should not change,” the President…
August 2026: This date will be a test for many companies. Then the central obligations of the EU AI Act should apply to so-called high-risk systems – and numerous AI applications that are used in human resources departments today fall precisely into this category. Recruiting algorithms, performance analyses, talent scoring: What has long been commonplace internally will be regulated from this deadline. Violations can result in fines of up to 15 million euros. However, it is currently unclear whether the regulations will actually take effect from August. If the so-called digital omnibus package is approved by the EU member states…
The operation launched this Monday in Mallorca by the General Information Commissariat (CGI) of the National Police for the alleged fraudulent sale of five real estate properties of businessman Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kolesov, an oligarch of the Russian arms industry close to President Vladimir Putin, has resulted a day later in three arrests, as confirmed by EL PAÍS police sources. Two of those arrested are expected to be brought to justice, they add. The detainees are a lawyer with dual Russian and Spanish nationality who acted as a translator and attorney for a law firm in that country, and two employees…
