Change is the only constant in the world. This saying is truer with the modification of the default retirement age, also known as DRA. It was already abolished in some nations, and this change has various entailments between the current employees and the company or organization's owner. Of course, the adjustment with DRA greatly affects the major concerns of the employers. With the new policies about retirement, they must now pay attention to the provisions around the scrapping of the DRA. They should be adjusting company practices and policies now. For instance, when it comes to handling performance management issues, they might require management training for their valued workers to ensure the continuous growth of the business. Apart from this, there are a lot of things to consider. It will definitely help if you will be equipped with the following details about the considerations that you must properly address:
Equal Opportunities Policies
Upon deciding whether or not the employers will push through without a DRA or if they will depend on a contractual retirement age, they must begin the modification of equal opportunities policies. These policies also include other documentation, like contracts of employment, which should be amended appropriately. The company can either remove the references to retirement or explain the employer's regulation with regard to retirement.
Well-Balanced Workers
Once you have learned the present needs and demand of your senior staff, devise a program for the introduction of more competitive working patterns and activities. A staple proposal for this course of action is to hold project management training. With this activity, your people will undergo several management courses that will further enhance their knowledge and skills. Surely, this corporate move will be beneficial for the company.
Succession Planning
Accordingly, there will be fewer opportunities to get a higher position for upcoming staff if there are more expert senior workers staying in the company beyond the usual DRA. Therefore, you must think of various plans on how you can modify your staffing pattern given the fact that there are smaller chances for promotion and salary increase.
Age-Related Disabilities
The employer would have the same responsibility to make adjustments for an employee who is above 65 with a disability. The essential factor which might affect the extent of the modification would be the cost of the adjustment having regard to the period the employee might fairly continue in employment.
