To assist employers in their preparation for the abolition of the Default Retirement Age (DRA), which is due to be phased out from April 2011, employment specialists at Davies and Partner Solicitors have organised a lunchtime seminar on Wednesday 30 March at their offices in Aztec West, to offer the regions employers all the information they will need to be ready for the changes.

For the seminar, Davies and Partners has joined forces with Bristol based employee reward experts EBRS and HR consultants Customer HR.  Delegates will have the opportunity to share workplace experiences and ask questions directly to the experts and receive a comprehensive and practical briefing combined in one session.
 

The three specialist speakers at the seminar will be: Sarah Whittock an employment solicitor with Davies and Partners who will highlight the legal implications of the changes and will advise on the preparations employees need to make; Tony Alcock, Director at Custom HR, who will suggest workable solutions to avoid ageism in the workplace and Karl Ellis, Director at EBRS, who will offer  tips on how employers can use employee benefits successfully to reward skills and performance rather than length of service.

The seminar will take place on Wednesday 30 March from 12-2 pm at Davies and Partners Solicitors office at 135, Aztec West in Bristol.  Tickets cost £10 inc VAT and include a buffet lunch.  Anyone wishing to attend should contact Sarah Whittock at Davies and Partners on email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
