In practice, a mixed picture emerges: Some companies are saving on WHM budgets, while at the same time the market for company fitness and company health services is growing significantly because more and more companies are recognizing the need for action, whether due to increasing absenteeism, demographic change or the desire to be seen as an attractive employer. This is what the participants in the BGM Round Table observed. Statutory health insurance companies report that their funding volume for occupational…
The young woman with a 41% disability who accuses rapper David Calvo Villa, The Jinchohaving raped her after a concert in Mislata (Valencia) in 2023, reported this Wednesday that the artist forced her to have sex without her consent. “He forced me to have sex. He grabbed me by the arms. He forced me to masturbate him with my mouth. I told him several times that I didn’t want to.

When Miriam Oehme became human resources manager at Biotest two years ago, she quickly found herself in front of a mountain of paper on her work table. There was also an analogue telephone on her table. Both were unusual for the former Merck employee, who describes herself as a “techie”. She was used to generous digitalization structures from the pharmaceutical company. These were hardly present at Biotest. And yet today there are AI agents in her HR team who take work off of the HR staff. The path there may differ from the AI transformation of fully digitalized companies like…

A truck full of rubble and workers entering and leaving next to the building of the old Babobab restaurant, in Lavapiés, where a private company wants to build a capsule hotel with 288 beds.

Neighbors have been warning for days that, despite the…
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (ETRL) is moving closer to operational practice. It is now important for HR managers to proactively examine compensation structures, recruiting processes and reporting obligations. It is also important to keep an eye on the company pension scheme (bAV). Those who are responsible for compensation systems today control much more than salary ranges and budgets. It’s about fairness, traceability, compliance and, increasingly, the question of how remuneration structures can be reliably presented in audits, reports and information procedures. This is exactly where the EU Pay Transparency Directive comes in, which should actually have been implemented into…
