Help your people prepare for more than the financial transition.
Organisations put considerable effort into helping people build successful careers. Yet one of the most significant transitions of an employee's working life can receive surprisingly little preparation. Traditional pre-retirement programs often do an excellent job of answering: “Can I afford to retire?” Retirement Horizons complements them by asking: “Am I ready for the life that comes next?” For long-serving employees, professionals and leaders, leaving work may mean relinquishing much more than a position. The experience of being needed Retirement Horizons gives employees the opportunity to think about these changes before they encounter them. For organisations, that means offering employees a more complete approach to retirement readiness. It demonstrates that your organisation recognises the person behind the role — and that supporting a good transition out of working life matters too.
Three organisational options are available:
