EMPLOYERS from across Worcestershire are being encouraged to attend a seminar discussing the benefits of flexible working.

The meeting will allow businesses to explore the idea of remote, mobile, flexible and home-working solutions - methods of working without the constraints of an office environment.

It will also give employers the chance to discover how new legislation, being brought in from April 2004, will affect them.

Speakers will include Pauline Henderson, from the Department of Trade and Industry, and Andrew Kinear, managing director of Office on the Web.

And afternoon workshops will examine case studies where flexible working is benefiting employers.

The seminar, to be held at Austin Court, Birmingham, runs from 10am until 4pm on Wednesday, November 26, and costs £25 - including refreshments and lunch.
