None of us can hold back the hands of time. What we can do is help our employees make intentional choices about how they want to craft a post-career life that reflects who they have become, and living according to their values, aspirations and intentions. For some, work will continue to be one part of their lives, with other aspects taking more space. Being purposeful about re-imagining the ways people can bring meaning, fulfillment and learning into their later lives contributes to healthier people, communities and society.
Consider yourself: it's likely your thoughts on retirement are about making sure you have a financial plan—clearly an important component of your life once you no longer need to bring home a full-time pay cheque. Most of us share those concerns, including your employees. Yet lives to run on default mode mean our employees lose out on the chance to make powerful choices on how they want to experience the next part of their lives. None of us worked for years and years to sit around waiting for our final breath. This is your opportunity to help your employees thoughtfully design their third act!
Retirement is typically about making a final career change—leaving a job, a career or a calling... or shifting to work that is more aligned with our values. But in putting working life behind us, what are we retiring to? Many speak of travel, home repairs and hobbies. Great! After we've returned from the trip of a lifetime, say, or renovated the kitchen and taken up watercolour painting, now what? Specifically, how will we express creativity, contribute to community or invest in relationships? Where will we find meaning? And how does this shift our identities?
Our engaging workshops and effective tools are designed to help older employees design the non-financial aspects of their next chapter, whether shifting to shorter work hours or fractional work—or gearing up for full retirement.
Our workshops are led by expert facilitators—with years of experience in their respective fields and passionate about creating learning environments in which exploration and experimentation invite participants to develop the awareness and knowledge to inspire and craft a satisfying post-career life.
We believe the best way to learn is by doing. That's why our workshops are designed to be interactive, hands-on and socially rich. Participants will have the opportunity to apply what they learn in real-life situations, so they can immediately start using new thoughts and skills to build confidence and competence in navigating their next chapter.
Once the decision is made to scale back or retire fully, there's a lot to consider about how we live our post-career lives. Offer your employees the support they need to make their transition smooth, knowing you are creating a new and needed element in your talent management strategy.
