Expert guidance is vital to help employers manage people effectively in working longer and more flexibly now the DRA has been abolished, according to the CIPD and to help address the challenges that many organisations face today, the CIPD and the TUC have published updated guidance, ‘Managing Age’.
The CIPD believe that employers need to refresh their approach to people management, policies and practices, to ensure they are in line with the changing age issues reflected in both the Equality Act and abolition of the default retirement age (DRA). Updated guidance from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Managing Age, will help address the challenges that many organisations face today.
The Guide supports Acas guidance on managing without a retirement age and will offer employers and unions ways to develop and cement good employment practice to gain the most benefit from an increasingly diverse workforce. HR professionals will be able to follow practical and up-to-date guidance on flexible retirement, recruitment, selection and promotion, pay, benefits and pensions, appraisals and performance management, training, health and safety, redundancy and termination issues.
