Retirement…And What Comes Next?
What is your company doing to help pre-retirees through this crucial
transition time in their lives?
An ever increasing number of organizations are looking for ways of helping key employees reduce or refocus responsibilities, schedules and at the same time, help these individuals develop a personal plan for fulfilling retirement goals.
The New Retirement
We are living longer and retiring earlier. Our longevity has increased by 30 years and the average age of retirement is 57. Some people spend more time ´post work´ than in work and the challenge is to create purpose and meaning in life for the next 20 to 30 years.
Thanks to the Baby Boomer Generation retirement has taken on a whole new meaning. It’s a time for living an active and varied lifestyle. The traditional retirement lifestyle of rest and leisure is fading away and being replaced with the new retirement lifestyle. For many people it means a new career, starting their own business, working part-time, or volunteering.
Retirement Coaching is an effective way of demonstrating that you are a responsible and caring employer as well as valuing your employees by making sure they leave your organization prepared for life.
Retirement coaching assists in creating a successful and enriching retirement life and accompanies clients through this very important transition period.
Some of the benefits of employer sponsored retirement coaching are:
- Increasing employee goodwill within your organization which often leads to improved morale and productivity.
- Demonstrating employer/corporate responsibility which can enhance your organization’s reputation.
- Improving knowledge and skill transference and better succession planning.
- Retiree’s becoming ‘Ambassadors’ for your organization as an ‘Employer of Choice’.
- Increasing flexible retirement options, retaining some retiree’s part-time, as mentors or internal consultants.
Some of the benefits for the pre-retiree are:
- Discovering how to organize the structure of their life without full-time work.
- Finding purpose and personal meaning in retirement.
- Exploring how they can remain fully open to new growth and personal development in their retirement years.
I am offering a bespoke, highly tailored approach - developing a personalized transition plan that is mutually beneficial to the organization and the employee.
I am utilizing The LifeOptions Programme which is specifically aimed at corporate/organisational settings and offers:
- A clear, concise yet comprehensive overview of the participant’s ideas about, and planning for, their ultimate lifestyle.

The LifeOptions Programme consists of :
The LifeOptions Profile (LOP) is a fantastic feedback tool which is completed via the internet within 20 minutes and generates a personal document that provides the participant with clear, well-ordered information and a scaled overview of how he/she compares to others in a similar life circumstance regarding their personal growth toward the life transition we call retirement.
The LOP combined with the Life Options Companion book give great personalized value and insight into the six ´life arenas´ and how to make comfortable retirement decisions and embrace the future with security and confidence.
