Recent data from the German Federal Employment Agency Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) reveals a significant shift in the #caresector: The grow of temporary workers in Germany has seemingly come to an end!💡   According to a recent evaluation by the BA, the number of #temporaryworkers employed in care has decreased by 4% over the past year, with approx. 32,400 temporary workers remaining by the end of 2023. This reduces their share to just 1.8% of the nearly 1.8 million total employees in the sector.   This decline marks a pivotal change: While temporary staffing has helped for bridging short-term staffing gaps, the rising costs associated with it are a real concern for many care providers. At Korian Deutschland, we therefore believe that temporary staffing should not be a systemic tool for workforce planning.   The BA’s insights further underscore the need for innovative approaches that foster a positive working environment, prioritize the quality of care and ensure the well-being of both patients and staff – including a fair compensation, excellent working conditions and a supportive #leadership.   What is your take on the recent data?   For more information, check out the article by Handelsblatt editor Frank Specht 👉 https://lnkd.in/dk-RDcBH   Clariane #KorianDeutschland #AtYourSide #HR #WorkforceManagement Remi Boyer, Christian Gharieb, Theo Birkemeyer, Janine Hoppe, Sabine Schröder, Markus Scheitzach, Sonja Rüger (Dittrich), Dr. Hasina Farouq

What does Europe mean for me? What do I think about the values of Europe? What do they mean for me? First of all, Europe for me is more than the European Union. And originally it has been founded with the purpose not to create common values, it was especially built due to economic reasons to decrease barriers in trading. But over the time it became more, it became a community which created an identity which is more than just or country specific identity. And this is what Europe is for me, spending an IDENTITY to me, a feeling of BELONGING to something bigger. Am I loosing my German identity? For sure not, I am and feel still very German and being proud and grateful for it. I am working now already since a long time in an international environment, due to this I started to deal with different views than just mine. Gaining insights of totally different perspectives, beliefs, needs and realities enriched my professional experience but also my personal life. It also challeng(ed) my own views. It made me understand how previleged I am, it made me understand, we as Germans are not the center of the world, it made me repected that POWER is depending also on others. Looking on diversity an inclusion: The construct of a European Union moved all of us so far ahead, the strenghtening and protections of diverse communities and minorities were only possible due a European discourse, this was and is always challenging as we always need to ask ourselves why we personally might think and feel differently. For me, being a gay man, I personally feel much more respected, accepted and stronger than ever before. Thank you, Europe! Europe, you made all our societies develop, grow and richer! You can think whatever about the European Union, I also struggle often with this bureaucratic, complicated and slow processes and way of decision making. But is there a better "model"? In these times of uncertainty and dangers, do we think, just country related politics would lead into something better? Would be a German voice more powerful than a European voice? Would we stay in a safer environment? I cannot believe that. Europe is needed, more than ever before. Last but not least, "Europe" made me connected to precious friends and colleagues I never want to miss again. I am now having a global responsibility and this again will challenge my views and will make me grow, and I will take my European experience with me to make impact to others. What does Europe mean for you? What do you think about the values of Europe? What do they mean for you? To all, who read this and are eligible to vote this sunday, go voting! You are heard, your vote counts. Let's do it.... Thank you, Knut Riemann! Took your challenge :-) #Europe #Europeanunion #Europeanelections #Vote #Challenge

Highly recommended: The manufacturing industry is undoubtedly under pressure from an inevitable process of change. One of the most important aspects of successfully meeting this challenge, particularly for heavy industry, is the use of hydrogen and securing its supply chains. If you are around, don’t miss this confrence.

When we encounter people in our daily lives, it’s easy to make quick judgments based on surface-level impressions. However, every person carries a unique story, shaped by experiences, challenges, and dreams that we may never fully understand. What we know about someone’s life is often just a small fragment of their reality. We see the outer layer – their appearance, their job, their social interactions – but beneath lies a complex tapestry of emotions, histories, and aspirations. Each smile, each word, each action is influenced by factors we may never see: the struggles they've faced, the triumphs they've achieved, the losses they've endured. Empathy and kindness become crucial when we acknowledge the limited scope of our understanding. By recognizing that we only see a part of someone’s journey, we can approach others with greater compassion and patience. This mindset fosters deeper connections and a more supportive community, where people feel seen and valued beyond superficial judgments. Next time you interact with someone, take a moment to consider the vastness of their unseen world. A kind word, a listening ear, or a simple gesture of respect can make a profound difference. After all, everyone's life is a rich narrative, deserving of understanding and appreciation.

Meet Adrian Ehrenberg, our dedicated Diversity Manager at MTU.

𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐙𝐮𝐦𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 (𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬) As a one-women-show in Employer Branding at Zumtobel Group, I have so many exciting challenges & topics which need to be covered and told. At our HQ in Dornbirn, we have 4 locations which I visit frequently. The constant #feedback from my colleagues is very valuable to me in order to understand our business. During our formal/informal meetings, I learned, not only about future and current projects, but also about #lessonslearned from the past. My conclusions after those brainstorming sessions: - Are we perfect? No, we are not – but.. who is?  💁‍♀️ - Do we have challenges? Yes, many! Can we deal with all of them? We are doing our best. 🙆‍♀️ - What keeps us moving forward? The team-spirit, extraordinary rewards for our work and desire to be more successful tomorrow than we were today. ✨ Just last week in one small talk I heard one nice story from the past. Many of my ZG colleagues know #Oswald, the cheerful porter at HQ here in Dornbirn. Did you know that Oswald, even though externally hired, worked for Zumtobel somewhere mid-eighties in #Africa for many years in our, the way back then, #plant in #Johannesburg? Right after his #apprenticeship in 1985 at Zumtobel, he got chance to go abroad with the company and stayed for some years there. If you ask him, we will tell you many extraordinary stories from that time and how proud he was for being able to work abroad for such an strong brand from Austria. Oswald still likes to highlight that those were his best years. However, life took him somewhere else. Due to some heath issues, he could not work for many years. After some time, he recovered an got an offer from an external company to work as a porter in our HQ. His reaction was, without thinking to much: “Yes, of course, I accept the offer! He told me: “As soon as I heard Zumtobel, it felt like coming 🏠 , to the same place where it all began.” Oswald, as many other colleagues are a real treasure trove of stories. They are our no. 1 #employerbrand.💗 Behind almost 75 years of existence of Zumtobel Brand there are thousands of stories of our employees who live our values and push our business forward. Did you know that thanks to their passion for lighting: - we have one of the most innovative R&D Teams in lighting industry? According to the European Patent Office (EPO), our brands #Tridonic and #ZumtobelLighting are in top 10 of Austria’s best innovators? - we won the #GuinnesRecord for the biggest one-piece luminaire? - we work on many projects for the #Vatican? The list of exciting projects is very long, and each and every employee makes one significant piece of that ZG project- puzzle. 😉 I couldn’t be more proud of.❤️ Ladies and gentlemen, here’s to all of my ZG colleagues and especially Oswald (on the photo below), our best brand advocates and fans. And enjoy the weekend ahead! So as it looks, it will be shining one. 🌞

Looking back at last week Hannover Messe, particular Hydrogen + Fuel cells Europe 2024, it was a great event. I had on Monday a key note speech talking about Lhyfe roadmap to large scale hydrogen production including offshore. On Tuesday we had the launch of Marketplace, an essential part of Lhyfe Heroes. On Wednesday I was panelist in a discussion about how and the outlook to produce hydrogen in Germany and the EU. Together with Werner Diwald from German Hydrogen Association, Christian Maaß from Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Heinrich Gärtner von GP JOULE Gruppe and Ulrich Buenger from Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP). We had interesting  discussions on our booth with customers looking for #greenhydrogen. Lhyfe is one of the few already supplying today green hydrogen. For the rest one could observe many more technology companies from Asia in the Hall, involved in parts of the supply chain of #electrolysers and #fuelcells. Today it looks a very fragmented market offering many different technology options.  Hydrogen + Fuel Cells EUROPE #renewablehydrogen #Wasserstoff

Waiting for a training budget or the perfect-fit course to boost your professional growth? Why wait? During a recent business trip, I used my travel time to dive into the podcast "HR Weekly" (in German) from Katharina Schulze, which is now one of my favorites. Podcasts are a great way to learn anytime, anywhere: they easily fit into my daily routine. 🎧💡📚 "HR Weekly" features HR Professionals sharing insights on topics like Recruiting, Change Management, Leadership, and Strategy. Recent episodes on internal mobility and the cultural dynamics between blue- and white-collar work setups really opened my eyes and provided practical takeaways. I think continuous learning doesn’t need to be complicated - small habits can make a big difference. How do you integrate learning into your routine? I’d love to hear your tips and thanks for this recommendation, Julia Ullmann-Glowacki! #PersonalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning #HumanResources #WeAreDanfoss #DanfossMoment

Onboarding after 22 months @ Instagrid? Again? This week I not only held my own onboarding session about our #InstaCrews values and culture, I also joined two onboarding meetings. - Why? The Intro People Topics I joined to see if my awesome teammate Luisa Quetzalli Navarro Ceja (great job you did here) and I had overlapping topics or were missing something. In the end, I even #learned something new.✅ The Product Intro onboarding will be a #refresher for me, to understand the product and technical aspects better. 👩‍🎓 We encourage our employees to take part in every onboarding session if they feel a certain topic needs a #boost of knowledge. #onboarding #instagrid #knowledge

Interesting and surprising, isn't it? At least I think so... Here's a rough translation for all non-German speakers. ------ „That's not my colleague, that's my employee!“  A sentence that is profound. When I recently commented favourably on the work of another person's "colleague", she corrected me in a harsh tone: It wasn't her colleague, she said, it was her employee. I was briefly irritated because it was new to me that employees are not colleagues. I then said, "But then you're also colleagues if you work in the same company." Whereupon I was told: "My colleagues are at the same level as me." End of the announcement. Even if you shouldn't judge people based on a single sentence, I didn't have the feeling that we shared the same understanding of leadership. I feel the same way when people talk about "subordinates". Or when you are told what hierarchical level you are at and how many employees you have when you shake hands for the first time. It's like we're playing car quartets. Anyone who still leads in this millennium to celebrate their own hierarchical position or the "power of command" over others has not understood what it is all about. Leadership is not a relationship of domination; it is a service role. And there is nothing wrong with that, because it involves a lot of responsibility. Among other things, for ensuring that - others are utilised according to their talents, - can fully contribute and develop, - the team works together constructively and - suitable framework conditions are in place. This requires many competences in addition to professional ones. I have a lot of respect for people who manage to do this. And less for those who only want to use leadership to boost their ego. Thank you for sharing Swantje!
