Retirement is not what it was! Many no longer approach this third phase with thoughts of easing their way into old age. Today, with the benefit of education and health care, those retiring are living longer and seeking a challenging and fulfilling new lifestyle.
Legislation has impacted on the traditional retirement age, giving staff greater choice of their retirement date. With the trend to early retirement reversed and issues around demographics, organisations are anxious to retain good staff to underpin competitiveness in a quality-driven environment.
When the time does come around, careful planning requires more than finding a hobby and sorting financial issues. Satisfying activity can stem from long years of experience and expertise so it is essential to ensure physical and mental wellbeing. The in-house Opportunity and Choice seminars place these aspects in perspective.
Focus for Change leads in-house seminars for management and staff drawn from a large number of corporate clients, public and private sector organisations and professional practices. Open Executive programmes are run throughout the year in London (Mayfair and Pall Mall) and Essex.
Led by two presenters and financial guidance contributed by Independent Financial Advisers, all aspects of this major life-change are addressed. The interactive day includes options around community involvement, personal development, income generation and strategies for gaining the most from the exciting third phase of life – the one you control!
Because retirement affects every aspect of life, it can be particularly beneficial for partners to attend. And recognising that not all attendees are close to retirement, Focus for Change also offers additional support with updates closer to the point of retirement.
Retirement planning is an important element in establishing, whether single or partnered, a new lifestyle which brings wellbeing and fulfilment to this important Third Age and sits comfortably within an employer’s IIP philosophy.
