Retirement Insight
Driven by a globally aging population, there is an increased demand for employers to consider the needs of their employees aged 50+. The way employers approach retirement differs hugely between businesses; most offer no support, some offer retirement coaching, some provide comprehensive redeployment and others have holistic retirement programmes.
For my Masters dissertation I produced the first academic study into retirement coaching in the UK. The research found clear differences in the practical and psychological requirements of employees before and after the retirement transition. Since then I have continually reviewed the academic literature and continued researching to understand what employers can do to improve how they support this transition.
I have had the privilege of reviewing a world-class retirement programme with a large professional services firm. With the information gleaned from hundreds of surveys and interviews with alumni, I have gathered immense insight into how the retirement experience can be designed to improve the outcomes for both the company and the individual.
