Geopolitical tensions, shortages of skilled workers, economic uncertainty and increasing regulatory requirements are fundamentally changing the framework for international employee assignments. Cross-border operations are becoming increasingly diverse and short-term, meaning that traditional guidelines and standard processes are often no longer sufficient. Regulatory requirements are increasing while management must make quick decisions, often based on incomplete information. Risks, costs and effects on employees often only become apparent later, when scope for action is limited and countermeasures are expensive.Mobility management is therefore increasingly being used as a strategic tool: to develop talent, to specifically manage international projects and to network organizations globally.…
The Burgos bookstore Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2025, synonymous with the oldest bookstore in Spain, with presentations, events and appointments with writers. 176 runs the risk of meeting with a closed blind and a “Cessation of business” sign. Virtual sales, large publication sales chains and illegal downloads put pressure on a local business, emblematic of Burgos, which has asked for help on those same virtual world platforms that threaten it: they have created a crowdfunding campaign so that small – or large – donors from all over can write more pages in their commercial and…
A recruiter recently told me that she received over 340 applications for a single position on a single Monday. Sounds good at first. Only not if 280 of them were obviously generated with AI. Not because the documents were fundamentally bad. On the contrary: they read well, competently and accurately. Not a single sentence was weird. There was no wording that was surprising. And not a single typo. And if so, it was so precise that it seemed more like calculation. The more she read, the more she felt: This application could just as easily have gone out to hundreds…
The new wave of teachers’ protests – 16 strikes in one month – started this Tuesday with main road closures, especially in the accesses to Barcelona. Starting at 7 a.m., different groups of pickets have blocked the entrances to the city along the ring roads, blocking the Trinitat and Llobregat junctions, in addition to cutting off the Dalt ring road in both directions at Santa Coloma and in Mundet and Gran Via at La Campana. Beyond the capital, there are also cuts on the C-31 in L’Hospitalet, the C-32 in Mataró in both directions and the C-17 in Vic. The…
Keir Starmer’s Labor Party has to digest a historic election debacle – now the pressure on the head of government is growing: several cabinet members are reportedly demanding that he present a timetable for his resignation.
The mayor of Adamuz (Córdoba), where the tragic collision of two trains occurred that caused the death of 46 people last January, has criticized the president of the Junta de Andalucía and candidate for the PP, Juan Manuel Moreno, for what he considers to be “political use” of the events during the electoral debate. Moreno has brought the accident to the fore in his dialectical confrontation with the socialist candidate, María Jesús Montero, whom he has asked to tell everything that had happened with the accident.Continue reading
Human resources management: Does the development of personal skills require the comparatively simple and often repetitive activities that career starters have previously had to do?Erik Strauss: This is one of the central questions of our time. Historically, junior roles have long been the primary learning venue for graduates. In these roles they gained experience that qualified them for more complex tasks in the future. If AI now takes over these very entry points, we risk losing the entire “learning ladder” that previously led to senior positions. What does this mean for the individual learning process?We need to redefine learning, and…
