TRANSITION TO RETIREMENT
Planning for a successful retirement
Our transition to retirement program supports older employees as they prepare for this important career change.
Retirement doesn’t have to signal the end of a fulfilling career. Our program helps individuals plan a rewarding lifestyle that integrates meaningful work opportunities.
Find out how, with our support, your retirees can confidently embrace this new chapter and enjoy a fulfilling, well-balanced retirement.
Jobs after retirement
For many, retirement isn’t about completely stepping away from work. It’s about finding a balance between enjoying meaningful work and a more relaxed lifestyle.
Our career transition to retirement program provides practical support to help your employees explore this option. We help them identify and overcome obstacles that might stand in their way, so they can make informed decisions about their post-retirement careers.
We offer emotional support to ease anxiety about this transition and strategies to help identify and secure fulfilling roles after retirement.

The program can be delivered through one-to-one coaching or as part of a half or full day workshop.
Our consultants work with each individual to develop an action plan that aligns with their needs, goals and priorities for the future. Practical exercises, assessment tools and targeted analysis guide participants through a range of considerations.

Benefits for employers
Retirement planning offers significant advantages for organisations:
- Facilitates workforce transition: It encourages the planned transition of an ageing workforce, helping to retain valuable intellectual and industry knowledge.
- Supports succession planning: It creates opportunities for individuals to step into roles vacated by retiring employees, aligning with your succession planning strategy.
- Enhances goodwill: Demonstrating care for retiring workers fosters goodwill among retirees, remaining employees and the broader community.
- Reduces turnover costs: By planning for a phased retirement or post-retirement roles, companies can avoid sudden talent gaps, reducing the costs associated with recruitment and onboarding new employees.
- Boosts employee morale: Offering retirement planning shows employees at all levels that the company is invested in their long-term well-being, which can enhance overall morale and loyalty.
- Enhances employer brand: Demonstrating a commitment to supporting employees through all stages of their careers, including retirement, strengthens the company’s reputation as an employer of choice.
- Supports inclusion goals: By offering a career transition to retirement program, employers can create opportunities for a more diverse workforce, encouraging intergenerational collaboration and knowledge sharing.
