New protective measures against excessive ambient temperatures must be taken which are determined from the risk assessment out and must be selected immediately from organizational, technical or structural measures. And: a new methodology of the temperature measurement is now mandatory. Measurements according to the existing Procedures are useless.

Cheap continuing education options in the financial crisis take advantage before half a year still was the dominant theme in the human resources departments of the shortage. Now, it is the financial crisis in the trainings will always demand. Rather than to recruit additional staff, it is worth for companies increasingly to educate existing staff. The middle class makes this currently and provides continuing education still as an efficient means to hold its own against competitors. According to Sabine Seuferts, Director of the Swiss Centre for innovations in learning (Scil) at the University of St. Gallen, but a growing gap between need for training and practice for Germany’s leaders.

The financial crisis is it not exactly benign, although just executives on other qualifications are instructed to settle to its employees. Training readiness in young talent is different. According to a survey by the forsa 30% of workers think of society for social research since the beginning Economic crisis increased after about a continuing vocational training. The willingness is approx. 50% in the age group from 20 to 29 years.

A total area of personality education, among which also the languages, increasing this strongly. These developments reflected language also in numbers of StudyGlobal. The target group relevant business courses”, specifically were in English, requested in the last 12 months, 80% of participants between 20 and 29 years, respectively 70% booked. Also in the age group under 20 years of age there are an increasing demand, now is some language schools have already set out in the form of special business courses for young people. People in the age of over 29 years, however, appear only due to want to expand their language skills. It is always important to be able to correspond, because with the increasing positions increasingly belong to day-to-day contacts on an international level in a foreign language in this age group. It is of course, that the staff deals with his professional and personal goals. Who can explain, why a training is useful, has good opportunities to the human resources department or his superiors. Often, this training can be part of the year conversation. If a training course this efficiency is particularly high, the hearing likely will be found. In the field of learning foreign languages, the language is still the most efficient way. Above all programmes after the total immersion “principle are to highlight here. During the time abroad, taking part not only in a language course abroad foreign language, but also lives in a host family, so it all day with the language to learners is confronted. With some discipline (avoid contacts with other language students of own mother tongue) enormous progress can be observed here in 2 weeks. Should the employer only conditionally agree to training plans, it may be worth still to examine whether a language course in the Framework of training can be performed. While the employer bears the costs of not here, must the employee (if applicable) however approve a paid special leave of up to 2 weeks.
