For the study, the career website surveyed around 1,000 employees from Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain in March 2026 about their experiences with managers and the consequences of poor personnel management.

Workers’ Commissions, UGT and the family association Confapa have called for strikes to begin a dialogue process with the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The demands are multiple and have in common what they perceive as a progressive deterioration of working conditions in non-university education: salary, ratios, teaching hours or sick leave that is not…
The new Workation Atlas shows: Nowhere is the keyword googled as frequently as in Germany. For HR, there are a number of things to consider when dealing with workation requests from employees relating to taxes, law, data protection and social security.
