Focus HR Solutions has been joined by Guernsey Employment Trust and we invite you/our clients to a lunchtime session to discuss ideas and concerns regarding Reasonable Adjustments. Currently, employers are encouraged to consider making reasonable adjustments to ensure that they implement good practice, offer equal employment opportunities and that a disabled person is not discriminated against or disadvantaged. With discrimination legislation on the horizon, Guernsey employers will see the need to make reasonable adjustments become a statutory requirement.
This discussion will assist employers to prepare for forthcoming legislation by; providing an overview of the barriers and challenges faced by disabled people, offer some practical guidance on what is considered reasonable, look at what employers should consider, provide some examples and testimonials, and give an overview of the legislation.
Date and Location
The event will be taking place on Tuesday 22 September at the Chamber of Commerce Business Development Centre.
