Die Rufe nach einem umfassenden Arbeitnehmerdatenschutz sind mit den jüngsten Datenschutzskandalen in deutschen Konzernen wieder lauter geworden. Ein eigenes Arbeitnehmerdatenschutzgesetz lässt aber weiter auf sich warten. Auch die geltenden Regelungen lassen den Arbeitnehmer jedoch nicht schutzlos. Der Schwerpunkt des Praxishandbuches liegt daher in der Darstellung des Datenschutzes im Arbeitsverhältnis und seiner praktischen Umsetzung. Die Autoren zeigen Unternehmen, Rechtsanwälten und anderen Interessierten auf, welche datenschutzrechtlichen Probleme sich in den Phasen des Arbeitsverhältnisses (Begründung, Durchführung und Beendigung) stellen und wie in der Praxis mit ihnen umgegangen werden kann.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

The book centers on the art of team coaching specifically for Scrum Masters or Agile practitioners leading teams. This topic remains largely unexamined by the literature as there is a lack of contemporary guidance about coaching Agile teams on acquiring qualities paramount for an adaptive organization - being self-organized and assuming ownership over their ways of working and its results. An Agile practitioner has to either study books on professional coaching that don't provide much information on working in the Agile context or try to implement Agile methodologies and frameworks with fragmented and limited guidance on dealing with teams and group dynamics.


By integrating coaching principles with the realities of an Agile environment, this book provides enough information and relevant case studies to equip a reader with the skills needed to organize coaching, confidently deal with emerging dynamics, and achieve the intended goals. It also connects Agile team coaching with the ICF (International Coaching Federation) Team Coaching competencies, professionalizing the practice.


In Agile ways of working, the team's strength significantly impacts the success of the products they work on. While Agile practitioners are adept at understanding methodologies, frameworks, tools, complementary practices and techniques, many lack coaching skills that address the human aspects of teamwork. This book fills that gap by empowering to effectively coach teams, leading to improved communication and cohesion, increased adaptability, and a culture of continuous improvement.


This book is practical, insightful, and it aims to support not only beginners but also seasoned professionals aspiring to elevate their practice.

Nachhaltigkeit darf sich nicht nur an kurzfristigen Erfolgen oder ausschließlich an finanziellen Ergebnissen orientieren, sondern muss zwangsläufig langfristige Ziele wie Stabilität, Resilienz und Flexibilität verfolgen. Dies gilt auch für die Berücksichtigung ökologischer und sozialer Aspekte und die Umsetzung entsprechender Maßnahmen. Dieses Buch will mit sachlichen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Argumenten sowie unter Berücksichtigung historischer und aktueller Entwicklungen in Wirtschaft und Politik einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die wichtigen und drängenden Fragen der Nachhaltigkeit leisten. Die aus der Analyse skizzierten 16 Bausteine fassen wesentliche Aspekte und Herausforderungen der Transformation zusammen.Die zentralen Herausforderungen der Nachhaltigkeit wurden in der 2. Auflage noch pointierter und umfassender dargestellt, ebenso die Aufweichung nachhaltigkeitsbezogener EU-Regulierungen (z. B. Berichtspflichten, Lieferkettengesetze, Emissionshandel, Grenzausgleichsmechanismus). Angesichts des weltweiten Rückgangs demokratischer Strukturen und der Ausbreitung autokratischer Machtpolitik wird die politische Dimension tiefgreifend analysiert.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Freiwillig nachhaltig oder hilft nur Druck?</li><li>Was bringen Klimaschutzabkommen und CO₂-Bepreisung?</li><li>Machen Lieferkettengesetze die Welt wirklich besser?</li><li>Ressourcenknappheit und Kreislaufwirtschaft</li><li>Wirtschaftswachstum – Wahn oder Wirklichkeit?</li><li>Wieviel ist genug?
