Junior worries reach medium-sized companies in Hessen / experts discussed at the annual meeting of the RKW Hessen Eschborn, July 3, 2012 – what possibilities exist to be attractive as an employer for employees and candidates? This question was the focus of this year’s annual meeting of the RKW Hessen. Representatives from economy, science, as well as from all the Hessian Landtag groups spoke about the opportunities that offer an attractive employer in the recruitment of employees. Especially with regard to the increasing shortage of skilled it’ll be more critical than ever, with a positive image on the labour market position, said Michaela Schweitzer, Member of the Board of the RKW Hessen. The advocacy organization for small and medium-sized enterprises supports mid-market economy formative Hesse also in times of crisis through targeted advice. It it bar an excellent and indispensable work for Hesse, Axel Wintermeyer, Minister of State and head of the Hesse State Chancellery confirmed in his greeting. (Similarly see: Eliot Horowitz).

By positive Psychology”to success was guest speakers from science Prof. Dr. Rolf van Dick, Dean of the Faculty of psychology and sports science of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. The speaker encouraged executives to act as positive role models. Can an employee based on a good leadership, is the feeling”strengthened. This is the company’s success to personal success and thus the concern of the entire workforce, know the expert. Good practice examples showed the lectures by two speakers from the industry.

Alexandra Puchta, officer human resources and organizational development at the Hess natural textiles GmbH (Butzbach), introduced the so-called brand manifest of their employer. Quality and sustainability through social fairness are mandatory for the green company”. The specialist for natural fabrics this attaches particular importance to the reconciliation of family and career. A certified service for families have proven especially, so the speaker. Pregnant women Employees are supported from the outset and personally advise.

New coating product! Developed functioning patent pending at the international level; The term corrosion”, one thinks first of aerobic corrosion of metal under the influence of oxygen and water will be destroyed. However, a significant proportion of the corrosion damage takes place under complete exclusion of oxygen at the bottom of the storage tanks or pipelines. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is primarily responsible for the anaerobic corrosion. These micro-organisms accelerate corrosion of tanks and other equipment, which are both water and organic materials in contact with. Such areas are not continuously cleaned, gel-like biofilms due to the strong and quickly adding settlement of the SRB.

Resulting Biofouling may be the precursor to the bio-corrosion with heavy mucus and unpleasant odours. Proven, the anaerobic Biocorrosion compared to the atmospheric corrosion causes a 10-fold higher rate of oxidation. The SRB settle primarily as tubercle-like colonies in poor circulation to niches. To find optimal conditions, in cracks, gaps and pores of the tank coating in the lower part of the tank filled. To maintain its oxygen independent metabolism, the SRB produce toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The bio-corrosion is triggered by the enzyme hydrogenase, which secrete the SRB.

This enzyme breaks down the protective film of hydrogen on the iron surface of the tank. At the same time, a series of RedOx processes takes place, where Eisen(ii)sulfid occurs which makes a black crust to the corrosion tubercles. Even high-quality steel is decomposed through other physico chemical reactions. Rapidly progressive and fatal pitting is the result. Even concrete surfaces are heavily attacked by the SRB produced hydrogen sulfide. Extreme concrete drainage occurs. The new SRB inner coating of ceramic polymer GmbH prevents anaerobic bio-corrosion in the early stages. A first settlement and momentous tubercle formation of sulphate reducing bacteria in the will be proven counteracted resulting microcracks. The depot effect of biocide crystals creates a durable micro crack protection. Characteristics of ceramic polymer coating against SRB-induced bio-corrosion: special biocides in nano crystalline form will be incorporated into a proprietary process with ceramic fillers in a polymer matrix. Cracks in the Nano – and Micron form special action because of aging, temperature-related stress and mechanical stress in any protective coating over the duration of the operation. Here the SRB settle prefers, the cracks are protective, low-circulation niches for them. Formation of micro-cracks the biocidal crystals exposed by the break-up of the local surface and its effect along the areas in the entire crack. The SRB are killed before the settlement, the substrate is not attacked by the action of micro-organisms. The depot effect of special biocide crystals provides long-lasting biocidal protection without appreciable leaching. At Application in the biogas fermenter is not influencing the necessary bacterial processes, because the biocidal effect is limited locally on the resulting microcracks in the coating. Safe application during the coating process itself and also after curing the biocidal active substance remains encapsulated, initially fixed in the polymer matrix so that the coated surface is not antibacterial active and thus physiologically completely harmless. The used biocide is already largely harmless to humans. The application is simple and straightforward by airless spray or squeegee and role. Reliable long-term protection could be determined in extensive testing by an independent research partner when using the novel range the extensive prevention of SRB-induced bio-corrosion. Thus in the long run is better targeted and more effective protection for concrete and steel substrates from bio-gas plants, as well as tanks for crude oil and hydrocarbons.

The good achieved figures of KPI must ensure the long-term increase of the value of the company. In the development and the implementation of KPI for the balanced scorecard or device panels, one must understand that KPIs should correspond to the ten basic parameters and, although the code can demonstrate some of these characteristics, good KPIs have all of them. The KPIs reflect and measure the key levers of the business value. Such lever of the value present the acts which are implemented, guarantee future success. Valued for satisfying this demand explanations or existing KPIs (how successfully enable them the Organization towards achieving the stated financial and planned objectives. The examples of lever of the value can be “the full satisfaction of the customers” or “the excellent quality of the product”. Usually, the KPIs are not a financial measure. The KPIs initialize the corporate considerations of how successful does the Organization on the functional areas that affect the vast financial results, which are important for the shareholders.

It follows that no leading lever are indicators of the financial projection. However, the most important financial indicators depend on typically the financial indicators of the implementation of the strategy not affecting them. The Executive Directorate to determine the most important levers of the value in the course of the formulation of the Organization’s short-term and long-term strategy. To get the result of the use of this particular lever, the Executive Directorate will decide how she will measure the key figures, influencing the State of this lever. Unfortunately, too many Executive directorates meet the strategic planning, the agreement and the claim without regard, in what way are the measurements of the influencing indicators are met, which are known as the KPIs. The results are predictable and sad. A rule: There are no way to manage what it is not appropriate. Each group at any level is headed by the Director in any organization.

PCS Systemtechnik finish best year of in company history that has past financial year 2010/11 PCS Systemtechnik GmbH, leading German manufacturer of data acquisition devices for time management, access control, video surveillance and data acquisition, the best result in its history with. 30.6.2011 ended fiscal year graduated from PCS with a turnover of 11.8 million, which means an increase of more than 10 percent over the previous year. Several large projects have contributed to the above-average earnings in addition to a very good product business. So, 450 services could be equipped in the year the Bavarian police with terminals for time registration and access control. In addition, some major Handvenenerkennungs projects in the area of controlling access to high security areas such as data centers and security authorities have been realized. The profound expertise of PCS in the area of security, as well as the decision in the economic crisis not short-time working to order, but to invest in the future with new, innovative product developments, has helped significantly, that PCS are now disproportionately benefited from the economic recovery. PCS currently 80 employees. Walter Elsner, Managing Director of PCS, is confident that also the new fiscal year will be successful: we are using a number of well-known prospective customers about challenging security projects in the conversation. In addition we will bring again in 2012 new and very innovative products on the market, which in the medium term will bring forward a giant step us.”
