The employment data place Catalonia in a moment of economic prosperity, but neither the unions nor the business organizations want to be triumphalist, because the global uncertainty due to the war in Iran and the rise in costs forces growth expectations to be lowered. According to data made public this Tuesday by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Catalonia broke its membership record for the month of April, with 3.92 million members, 38,360 more than the previous month (almost 1% more), while registered unemployment fell by 8,949 people (2.77% less), to 314,527 unemployed. These good figures put Catalonia,…
The co-determination of IT systems has changed enormously through AI and the cloud. Lukas Köhler from Helaba on approaches to making a complex playing field manageable. Sometimes organizing company co-determination around IT systems feels like the famous battle against windmills. The systems we work with every day can feel like they are watching everything we do. Manufacturers are constantly pushing new functions into our applications via the cloud, over which we as employers have little influence. And on top of that, the AI hype means that many co-determination bodies react more suspiciously than orientedly. It is precisely in this area…
David Robson has highlighted the health risks of loneliness, the body-shaping power of mindset, and the thinking errors common among high performers in a broad discussion on BEYOND with Aleksandra King. Robson — whose 18-year journalism career includes BBC Future, New Scientist, Wired, The Guardian, and The Atlantic — told host Aleksandra King that loneliness deserves public-health status alongside smoking and poor diet. He also explained the “liking gap” that stops people from reaching out to others, the “beautiful mess effect” that makes vulnerability attractive, and why self-compassion drives genuine behavioural change. Key Facts Loneliness and health: More…
The spokesperson for the socialist group in Congress, Patxi López, has considered it a “truly outrageous” that the private prosecution of the PP in the trial of the Koldo case has reduced the sentence request for the businessman Víctor de Aldama from seven to five and a half years. If this sentence were imposed, Aldama would avoid prison. “He who has taken five million in commissions would walk free on the street,” López denounced. “The PP will have to explain it.” The Minister of Justice, Félix Bolaños, also referred to the Popular Party’s request in the press conference after the…
“Why should trainees actually go abroad?” – this question is heard again and again in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). She is entitled. Anyone who operates as a craft business in rural areas or works as a regionally rooted family business without international business relationships is right to consider what specific benefits an internship abroad will have for their business. Isn’t this more of a “luxury program” for large corporations with locations around the world? A nice extra, but hardly relevant to everyday business life? This skepticism is understandable, but it ignores the great potential of stays abroad in training.…
The tension to demand labor improvements in public services in Catalonia has been increasing for months. In addition to the strikes by teachers – this Thursday the first day of the new round of strikes planned in education for the months of May and June will take place – and by doctors – the last day of strike was on April 27 -, Catalonia is adding a trail of protests in different municipal services that put pressure on the public management of the municipalities one year before the elections in the City Councils. In the profusion of strikes in social…
In the middle of the after-work hustle and bustle of downtown Leipzig, a car races through the pedestrian zone. Two people die and at least 20 are injured. Eyewitnesses report panic and chaos. The investigators assume a shooting spree.
Human resources management: Dr. Koch, you focus a lot on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in HR. What are you seeing right now?Rebecca Koch: I see a wide range of development stages. In some companies, AI is already firmly integrated into processes and mindsets, with complete automation of transactional tasks. In some cases, AI agents even take on complex tasks, including coaching for managers. Other HR organizations, on the other hand, are just getting started, with their first local successes, and often feel overwhelmed by the dynamics. I observe FOMO, the fear of missing out, in almost everyone, regardless…
The first five-way debate between the candidates for the presidency of the Junta de Andalucía on RTVE was intense, lively, and with various levels of discussion. The PP candidate for reelection, Juan Manuel Moreno, armed with extensive documentation full of paintings and photos that he placed on the lectern and at his feet, avoided at all times confronting Vox, his potential ally if he does not achieve the absolute majority. He sought hand-to-hand combat with the socialist María Jesús Montero, his main rival. And the PSOE candidate did the same, as if the rest of the protagonists were secondary. Continue…
