Good evening,


Hundreds of employees in Hessian daycare centers stopped work and demonstrated on Tuesday.

The actions were part of a nationwide warning strike in the collective bargaining dispute in the social and educational professions, with which the Verdi union wanted to increase the pressure in the negotiations.

Among other things, a legal entitlement to qualification for all employees is required, for example from childcare workers and social assistants to educators.

Rallies took place in Frankfurt, Kassel, Darmstadt and Giessen, among other places.

And:

The museums in Frankfurt are restricting their opening hours

, work is on schedule for one of the most important rail projects in the region and the Frankfurt School of Finance has found out that money is not everything.

The overview at the end of the day.

money and performance:

Anyone who has ever tried to persuade a child to do something they really don't want by promising them a sum of money has certainly experienced it: three times they might practice the cello without a murmur for half an hour that would otherwise have been spent on something else would be, after that it will be difficult.

From Child to Adult: What Drives Employees to Perform Better?

Bonuses promised for good work tend not to be.

Appraisals have more motivational potential if money is not an issue.

Roughly summarized, this is the result of a study by the Frankfurt School of Finance.

Your authors have made a food discounter the subject of the study.

Some store managers received a specific bonus over a period of several months upon reaching a certain profit, while others only spoke to their managers weekly about the progress of the profit increase.

The third group received both bonuses and feedback talks, and in the fourth control group, store managers worked as before.

A comparison of the profits within three months showed that those branch managers who only had regular discussions about profit increases actually achieved some: an increase of seven percent compared to those who were “only” promised bonuses.

Isn't money a motivator at all?

Of course it is, but it has to be used correctly, according

to the School of Finance study.

More capacity on the rails:

One of the most important rail projects in the region should be completed by the end of 2023.

The expansion of the railway line between Frankfurt and Bad Vilbel from two to four lanes is so far on schedule.

In December 2023, the S-Bahn trains between the two locations should be running at a reliable 15-minute cycle.

According to Deutsche Bahn, the expansion that began in 2017 should reduce the travel time from Bad Vilbel to Frankfurt Central Station by up to five minutes from the current around 25 minutes.

In the meantime, the railway embankment has been widened over ten of the 13 kilometers so that two additional railway tracks can be laid.

It is said that this has already happened over a distance of two and a half kilometers between Frankfurt-Eschersheim and Frankfurt-West.
