Is employee absenteeism is a critical factor impacting a company's financial health? 📈 I can’t say it more often. In 2024 everything is about efficiency and productivity. Companies are looking for increasing revenue stream and at the same time reducing operation costs. Growth is not thought any longer by growing in headcount….. Understanding the costs associated with sick leave within the existing workforce, both direct and indirect, is essential for businesses aiming to safeguard their bottom line. Why are costs so devasting? 🌱 The financial impact of employee sick days goes beyond just manpower. 📉 Direct Costs of Salary Continuation: 💰 Employers must continue paying employees during sick leave, with up to 70% reimbursed through the Entgeltfortzahlungsversicherung. Social security contributions further add to the financial burden. 📈 Indirect Costs of Sick Employees: 🕒 Productivity Loss: Absences lead to missed deadlines and overburdened staff. 👥 Replacement Costs: Finding substitutes or assigning extra work can strain morale and finances. 💡 Knowledge Loss: Prolonged absences may result in a loss of expertise and skills. —> also a big topic Dr. Bettina Volkens is adressing with her company I think the cost of absenteeism is still overlooked. Thoughts? https://lnkd.in/eZBctZ7F

"There is a reason why it's called Made in Germany and not Made by Germans." 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 Following the motto "Made in Germany - Made by Diversity (Vielfalt)," more than 40 German family businesses and two entrepreneurial associations from East Germany are advocating for more #tolerance and openness in society. Together, they are demonstrating through a nationwide advertising campaign that diversity is a success factor from an economic perspective. A diverse environment is increasingly becoming an economic and competitive factor for companies. More than 40 percent of industrial companies in #Germany are facing a shortage of skilled personnel. In total, there were around 1.8 million unfilled positions by the end of 2023. With the retirement of the baby boomer generation, the situation will further worsen in the coming years. As a result, a significant majority of German entrepreneurs see immigration of skilled workers as a way to address these shortages. This initiative by the German industry is a fantastic reminder that #diversity and #inclusion are not only ethically and morally imperative but also crucial for driving economic growth and achieving success. Thanks to Vorwerk Group and more than 40 other German companies for leading this important initiative (Miele, Dr. Oetker, STIHL, CLAAS, TRIGEMA W. Grupp KG, Sennheiser ...) #strongertogether #diversityandinclusion #MadeInGermany

Yesterday, we published our updated economic forecasts for Germany and the German insurance market. 💸 Economic Outlook: We forecast a 2.5% inflation rate and 0.3% economic growth for 2024. Inflation will decline to 2% and growth will pick up to 1% in 2025. This will support a nominal income rise of 2.5%, leading to real growth in disposable incomes. Consequently, private consumption is anticipated to increase by 1% in real terms, with the savings rate normalizing at 11%. 📈 Robust Premium Growth: The insurance industry is projecting strong premium growth for 2024 and 2025. We expect an overall premium increase of 2.8% for 2024 and foresee a rise between 3.1% and 5.5% in 2025. 📉 Revised Forecast: Despite lowering the overall sector forecast for 2024 by one percentage point due to weaker single premium business in life insurance, the economic outlook remains stable. 🏠 Shift in Revenue: For the first time since 1996, property and casualty insurance is expected to surpass life insurance in premium revenues, a trend likely to continue into 2025. 📉 Life Insurance: While life insurance might see a 2.6% decline in 2024, a rebound of up to 2.5% is possible in 2025 due to an improved interest rate environment. 🚗 Property & Casualty Insurance: The sector is set to benefit from inflationary effects, particularly motor insurance, which is predicted to grow by 7.8% in 2024. 🏥 Private Health Insurance: Significant premium growth is expected, with projections of 4.5% in 2024 and up to 8% in 2025.

German sociologist Max Weber (1864–1920) popularized the idea of bureaucracy as an organizational model intended to improve coherence and efficiency. The fundamental principles of Weber's bureaucratic theory are as follows: #Work division: The organization should assign tasks according to their practical and technical qualities. Precision and efficiency are guaranteed by specialization. #Authority hierarchy: The unofficial group is kept under control by a distinct chain of command. Every tier possesses distinct duties and powers. #Non-individual relationships: According to Weber, there should be no personal communication between employers and employees and preferences are not the basis for decision-making; regulations and protocols are. #Well-defined policies and procedures: The office follows established policies to guarantee consistency and predictability. #Determined by merit employment: Ability, not preference, should determine hiring and advancement. In brief all of the tips of Max Weber regarding the actual of his experienced of scientific but u can do over the tips through out your actual practices too.

Yesterday, I attended the IFZ Insurance Summit in Rotzreuz. What an event! I enjoyed many of the talks and especially the Baloise CH group with Michael Müller, Philipp Marty and Daniel Zangger. Not only because of the content but also because of the entertainment factor. Thank you for the inspiration, fun and humour you provided. My key insights from the day were the following. 🌟 Becoming truly customer centric can only happen if top management understands its value and benefits, or even better, actively promotes it. 🚀 Innovation can be successful even if it doesn't result in a tangible product. Sometimes, the awareness it generates can justify the investment by propelling the brand into the future. ⏳ The most powerful way to implement change in a slow-moving industry like insurance is to both acknowledge the industry's pace and refuse to remain stagnant. By doing so, you can avoid endless frustration and actively embrace change. #insurtech #insurance #customercentricity Ginetta

This post educates on the evolving priority for employers: energizing engagement. The approach varies across regions, with a focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in US and European businesses. These employers aim to align their workforce with societal diversity and legal mandates. Employers are leveraging new technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain real-time data insights and actionable recommendations. However, the crucial aspect lies in how they utilize these insights, bridge HR silos, and navigate organizational change effectively. #Employers #Engagement #Diversity #Inclusion #AI #HR #BusinessTransformation

How Employees Perceive Planned Organizational Change: Insights from a Workspace Change Project in the German Insurance Industry By: @Natalie Breutner & Angela Roth Based on a symbolic–interpretive and social–constructivist research approach, this longitudinal study explores how employees perceive workspace changes. Rich empirical processual data that were continuously collected during the change process were used to analyze workspace changes as a new type of organizational change, thereby contributing to sensemaking research. Three types of change recipients from employees’ responses to a workspace change based on differences in their underlying cognitive, behavioral, and affective patterns throughout the sensemaking process were identified: those with positive attitudes and perceptions, those with negative attitudes and perceptions, and those exhibiting a change toward positive attitudes and perceptions. As a practical contribution, change agents and leaders can gain insights and guidance for managing different employees by considering the individual patterns that trigger changes in employees’ perceptions throughout the change process. These insights about sensemaking also contribute to organizational development and change management research.

3 Inspiring days at the BSH - Live Authentic Leadership 2 retreat. Below a few insights from participants about what Authentic Leadership means for them. Authentic Leadership is a compass that guides me to discover and develop myself and lead in alignment with my Values and Life Purpose. It helps me lead by being the best version of myself, enabling me to create the most effective interpersonal environment for my team and empowering me to lead and inspire them to greater collaboration, satisfaction, results, and growth, in a much more effective way. This is how I want to lead and how I want to be led. If I am able to get out of my own way, solutions come much more naturally to me, and as result, my life becomes much less stressful. Authentic Leadership is a choice: where I am in my own consciousness, how I behave, what impact I have, and what I experience, are the results of my choices as a leader.
