Programs for Organizations

"Most companies’ human capital strategies have traditionally been more focused on moving people into jobs than on easing workers out of them.  Companies create entire departments to recruit, interview and woo candidates, but they tend to give less thought to what happens as employees near retirement.”

​

​

Forward thinking organizations help employees plan financially for their retirement, but psychological preparation is equally important.  ​When key employees are ambivalent about retiring it can be disruptive to the organization.   

The individual . . .

  • may have difficulty committing to a definitive date to retire. 

  • may step down but has trouble stepping away.

  • may not fully embrace the succession plan. ​

​​As their employer, you’ve not just contributed to your staff's 401k.  You’ve also contributed meaning, structure, and purpose to their daily lives.  Imagine what it’s like trying to replace those things, especially for those who are mentally unprepared. This workshop can help your employees explore the head and heart side of retirement and craft a smooth transition to their next chapter.
