On January 28, 1987, the first lines of the minute book of the Bellavista Women’s Cultural Association were written. The very neat handwriting that recorded the issues discussed was that of Áurea Chacón, secretary and promoter of the association. “Women did not have any kind of place to do what they wanted and then with the association everything changed.

In-house or outsourcing? Software or service? Control or relief? In payroll accounting, these contrasts are often still considered fundamental strategic decisions. But modern companies today need more flexibility than rigid either/or models can offer. In this webinar, Philipp Hoffmann and Mandy Hopfe from Paychex Europe show why traditional ways of thinking in payroll are increasingly reaching their limits – and how modern payroll platforms intelligently combine apparent opposites. Using practical examples and live demos, you will learn how companies can combine efficiency and resilience, maintain transparency and control despite outsourcing, or combine digital self-services with personal expert support.

June is Pride Month: a month to raise awareness of the rights and discrimination of queer people. Numerous companies use these four weeks to raise a rainbow flag in front of their company headquarters and/or to raise awareness of prejudice, discrimination against queer employees and human rights with campaigns. This year, too, the actions are faced with a still-present diversity backlash in the USA, right-wing radical movements in Germany and the economic crisis. These developments influence the extent to which companies support the rights of queer people. This is currently happening in an ambivalent way. “On the one hand, we…

The National Court has convicted 11 members of the youth gang Dominican Don’t Play (DDP) for their membership in the criminal organization and two of them, in addition, for the crime of currency counterfeiting.
