10 Reasons why you should visit Lisbon this year

Gone is the culture of presenteeism that keeps people at their desks late into the evening to make up for long lunches. Now, teams decide between themselves how much holiday they will take each year and when to be in the office. Tomas says it was important to make flexibility formal to make sure that as the company grew everyone felt comfortable taking advantage of the system. It had the added benefit of making them an attractive employer for new, young talent, too.

The flexibility not to be at work at a certain time takes the stress away,” says Tomas. “Then I don’t know why but you have more productivity. When you say you trust your team 100%, people respond with more responsibility. They say: ‘This company treats me well, so I want it to succeed’.”

Sol González has been with the company since before the formalised flexibility policies and says she’s unlikely to quit – things like working from home let her spend more time with her daughter without stressing about schedules all the time. “To me teleworking has multiple advantages, such as… taking care of my little daughter when she gets ill, or having lunch with her occasionally.”

The flexibility not to be at work at a certain time takes the stress away,” says Tomas. “Then I don’t know why but you have more productivity. When you say you trust your team 100%, people respond with more responsibility.

Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.

Tomas says that Spanish companies have ignored employee satisfaction in the past. Job security has traditionally been the key factor in a country where unemployment is high, meaning companies could demand more of their employees and be less flexible.

Among the new technologies available or in development, some of which were on display at the annual Alzheimer’s Association International Conference last summer in Los Angeles, are: lifelike robotic companion pets, other robots to help patients remember to complete a task, GPS tracking tools to help find someone who has wandered off, virtual reality systems that can mentally transport patients outside the four walls of their homes or assisted-living facilities to other parts of the world, and even to other decades.

Stephanie Rohlfs-Young, director of volunteer programs at the Alzheimer’s Association, said “almost every caregiver is looking for ways to make the burden lesser, and we hear from a lot of people, especially in the earlier stages of the disease, that certain devices or apps are helping.”

I doubt there will be few takers for the fully-souped-up version of the new Mac Pro. But what Apple is doing is not inconsistent with other hardware makers. New laptops are being sold with bare-boned specs, even without keyboards, and many buyers are forced to add additional capacity to make them worthwhile. In other words: don’t believe that initial laptop price. It will likely cost more.
