Retirement represents one of the greatest times of change in our lives. This book, written specifically for HR professionals and coaches who are supporting others through the process, provides a highly practical approach to helping people prepare for retirement and beyond.
By using examples and case studies that are backed up by rigorous research by the author, who is herself a seasoned coach, the book shows what can be done, through the coaching process, to help employees (as well as pre-retirees who are self-employed), in moving towards a successful retirement. The book answers these key questions:
- How can the pre-retirement needs of staff be determined?
- How might retirement coaching support the decision-making processes involved?
- What options might individuals consider, eg part-time work, volunteering, pursuit of a second/portfolio career, new learning opportunities, etc.?
- What financial implications do people need to explore and how can these be prioritized?
- How can emotional aspects of retirement - health, wellbeing and relationships - be supported?
- What tools are available to support staff in planning their retirement?
As organizations increasingly recognize the importance of providing support to employees at all stages of their careers, this book represents the 'go to' book for coaches and HR professionals.
