09:40 Welcome

09:45 Employee Benefits: “Eureka!”

Another national vote, another inconclusive outcome, and yet more uncertainty for UK Employers. In this (hopefully) fun and informative session Steve will aim to cut through the confusion and highlight actual and planned changes that may lie ahead for Employee Benefits. Topics covered will include the war for talent, the phasing-out of (some) Salary Sacrifice benefits, HR Cyber Security issues, and a look at the implications of the Taylor Report for the world of Employee Benefits. Speaker: Steve Herbert, Head of Benefits Strategy, Jelf Employee Benefits

10:15 Emotional Intelligence (EI): “What is EI (and why is it important)?”

Most employers are familiar with the concept of Emotional Intelligence, but few have yet to fully embrace the concept. Susannah will provide an overview of this key employment subject and identify how and why this topic should feature on the radar of all good employers. Case studies will be included. Speaker: Susannah Couper, Co-Founder, Sales Mindset Matters

10:35 Delegate Voting

10:45 Break/ Refreshments/ Networking

11:10 Pensions: “The Science of Pension Savings”

The pension planning and transfer landscape has been changing significantly over the last few years.

Speaker: Peter Matthews, FPFS Chartered Financial Planner, Mercer Jelf Financial Planning

11:30 Employment Law: “Employment Law Update”

2017 has been a busy year in the world of Employment Law, with major developments in the areas of “gig” working, Tribunal fees and (of course) Brexit. Local employment law expert Sarah Tahamtani will provide an important and useful update on the key changes that will impact all UK employers. An important and necessary session for all delegates. Speaker: Sarah Tahamtani, Partner, Clarion Solicitors

12:00 Free Prize Draw (a chance to win one of two Fortnum & Mason hampers!)
