Human resources management: Dr. Rusinek, you warn companies against pushing automation at the expense of entry-level jobs. Why? Dr. Hans Rusinek: In the short term, automation seems to have high savings potential, but in the long term it is a danger. If I save on entry-level positions and don’t hire anyone or only a few young people, I’ll fall into a trap: This will break the bottom rung of the career ladder. In this way, companies destroy their own talent pipeline. Employers lose significantly more than they gain, for example the necessary breath of fresh air that young professionals bring…
He left the keys at home, but had left the balcony door open. A resident of Calle Princesa in Madrid had an idea, the possible consequences of which seemed less serious to him than paying the locksmith’s bill: to climb the façade of the building until he reached his apartment on the second floor. And so he did. The neighbors and passers-by who saw him clinging to the wall several meters high could not believe that the Madrid ‘Spiderman’ was in jeans, with a dark blue t-shirt and without shoes.The real luck was that his neighbor was home and let…
Comp & Ben management is currently confronted with high demands: transformation, restructuring and staff reductions are on the agenda in many companies. The measures should be designed to be as socially acceptable as possible, but economically sensible and future-oriented.

I have lived for years with someone who was deeply depressed. That dark privilege that forces you to see up close how an illness devours the one you love, forever inoculates you against the trivialization of mental suffering. For that reason alone I dare to write what follows.We need more psychology professionals, more research, more resources. Mental health is the great silent crisis of our time. And, precisely because it is, we must have the courage, threading as finely as necessary, to confront the excessive medicalization that leads to the pathologization of life itself.The psychiatrist Guillermo Lahera, head of psychiatry…
Gasoline and diesel are more expensive than ever, a wave of inflation is looming: the government must act. The proposals range from commuter allowances to mobility allowances and tax cuts. How expensive it will be, who will benefit and where the catches are: the overview.
The situation is tense in many companies. Orders are falling apart, costs are rising, investments and new hires are being postponed, employment relationships are being questioned. And in the middle of all this is a question that is unpleasant but unavoidable: Can we still afford training at the moment? However, the strategic counter question is: Can we afford to do without it?
