How can you make the retirement transition easier for you and them, supporting them with their planning and raising the subject without fear of appearing ageist?

Retirement should be gratifying, as it gives you the time to feel good and enjoy your life when you have left your workplace. To optimise life in retirement takes planning, not just on the financial front but in other critical, areas too.

There are people in your organisation whose absence will be deeply felt due to their invaluable knowledge and experience. It's crucial to retain as much of their expertise as possible. Equally important is helping them understand how to make the most of life after employment and enjoy it to the fullest.

A dedicated off-boarding process for those approaching retirement helps protect your organisation's employer brand, it's an essential part of building and maintaining your reputation as an employer. It also gives you a structure to preserve invaluable knowledge, practices, and experience within the organisation, sustaining the workforce and resource planning.

What's the Answer?

While in your employment, you will likely have provided career development opportunities for your people to enable them to grow in the organisation. Retire One Day allows you to provide the opportunity for them to plan for an enjoyable and fulfilling retirement, and for you to maintain the organisation's working practices.

Equally important is the question of how best to retain all their knowledge and experience with workforce and resource planning.

The answer to all these challenges is the Retire One Day workshop. It's a full day onsite or at a venue you choose for anyone in your team within sight of retirement, whether that's one, two, or five years from now.

The thought of retirement can be overwhelming - if you don't have a plan

Not having a plan can lead to a range of reactions including avoidance and anxiety. You can help your people plan for their future so they don't spend time 'coasting' or being anxious, and potentially less productive, which may exacerbate the issue for them and your organisation.

This comprehensive and unique one day workshop has been created for caring employers and for their people who are thinking about retirement.

As important as financial planning is, research shows that people nearing retirement get concerned about much more than just this one topic. Identity, purpose, relationships, social connections, health and well-being, and future planning all become part of the mix, which is why Retire One Day exists.

The workshop helps your people participate in discussions and planning about many subjects including:

How to transition from a busy work life to retirement without concerns about social isolation and a loss of purpose.
Avoiding retirement putting pressure on relationships at home and preventing stressful situations.
Maintaining health and well-being and even facing any concerns over the potential for developing chronic conditions or age-related illnesses
Financial security, having enough money to maintain a comfortable lifestyle throughout retirement
Future planning such as having an up to date will, probate, etc

The Retire One Day Workshop will help your people...

Learn more about retirement

Understand what retirement could be, as it may differ from how they currently imagine it. The clearer your people are about their future the more meaningful their planning will be to them as individuals, or as a couple.

Consider the next chapters

Consider their transition through this significant life event and how the next chapters of their life could affect them and those closest to them. It helps people manage the unknown as it unfolds.

Share thoughts and ideas

Learn more about and discuss, a positive long-life mindset, nutrition, health, and exercise and what it can mean in retirement.

Consider their finances

Discuss personal finances and future planning for themselves and the important people in their lives.

Create a retirement plan

Have a positive, personal plan so there are fewer unknowns to deal with after retirement, reducing anxiety, worry, and the unfamiliar while focusing on enjoying their time.

Everyone taking part in the workshop will be offered the opportunity to have their Will written or rewritten, free of charge.

Thank you for coming back today for a second module. I've found you giving us the booklets of written material very helpful to reflect back on after sessions. Your calm demeanor has helped me relax into the sessions when personally I started off anxious.

I found the content but also the way you delivered it……top class! It felt to me like the perfect blend of listening, working in groups, thinking, and working on your own! The experience has certainly made me feel a more rounded individual both at work and at home.

The positive and interesting aspect is he's seeing a completely different perspective of himself and is applying his learning into his role and the mentoring he is doing with the team

Throughout the whole pre-planning, delivery and post review, Dyfrig delivered an outstanding program which has really made a difference to a large number of colleagues. He really listened to our needs and delivered on them, but as well as that he is a pleasure to engage and work with.

What is Retire One Day?

Retire One Day is a workshop developed for employers to help prepare their people for retirement. It helps to avoid any awkward discussions around 'When?', it will help your people plan properly so that they can get the best from their retirement years and look forward to them while still employed. This workshop will also assist you with succession planning for your organisation.

From a Human Resources perspective, it leverages the ability to address retirement without fear of your organisation appearing ageist. Importantly, it can enhance your employee offering, highlighting your organisation's inclusive, balanced, and people centric culture.

Workshop attendees discover that retirement planning involves much more than just pensions and finances. While finances are important, surveys reveal that many people approaching retirement have a wide range of concerns and numerous questions that need addressing. There is often much more to consider than they initially thought.

Helping your people understand what they might face, how they may feel, and how to plan to make it easier, simpler, and more relaxed, gives them a far better end to the working phase of their life. Importantly, that's good for your organisation too.

Topics relating to a fulfilling retirement are not always discussed or considered in any detail in the workplace or home. Addressing subjects such as purpose, relationships, mental and physical health, social connections, and emotions are all covered in the workshop.

Without a proper plan in place for retirement, even the most accomplished and senior people can spend much of their time thinking about what comes next and perhaps worrying about it. They may be excited about the prospect, however, without a plan, opportunities to make the best of this precious time can be missed.
