De nuevo a vueltas con las medidas para sancionar los abusos de la temporalidad en el empleo público

Author: ROQUETA BUJ, Remedios. 

ABSTRACT: The Social Chamber of the Supreme Court, faced with interpretative doubts regarding the recognition of the status of permanent employees of Public Administrations for employees hired without being subject to the principles of equality, merit, and ability, through its order of May 30, 2024 (Rec. 5544/2023), has referred the matter to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling and suspended all proceedings until a decision is reached. The purpose of this study is to analyse EU case law on this matter and attempt to project the effects or consequences it may have on the Spanish legal system in order to address it, both in relation to civil servants and employees, and to predict what the Court of Justice of the European Union´s (CJEU's) possible response may be to the new request for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Social Chamber of the Supreme Court.

KEYWORDS: abuse of temporary contracts, EU social law, interim civil servants, public administrations, temporary contracts.

La profesionalización de la dirección de recursos humanos: un reto inaplazable

Author: BUSQUETS MONTES, Silvia. 

ABSTRACT: This article uses data to analyse how organizations should foster the transformation of the role of human resources director into a strategic management profile, capable of becoming a key player in the modernization and improvement of local public management. Although personnel departments have traditionally been focused on administrative tasks, today’s management needs to be capable of promoting strategic policies that link people management with institutional objectives and citizen demands. The lack of recognition of the position, regulatory rigidity, and a shortage of specialized profiles have limited this progress until now. However, digitalization, data intelligence, and the development of new skills offer a decisive opportunity to redefine the management role in human resources. The article concludes that only a true professionalization of this position will enable organizations to respond efficiently, innovatively, and sustainably to current and future challenges.

KEYWORDS: data Intelligence, human resources, professionalization, professional profile, strategic planning.
