Pre-Retirement Workshop
- Unit value:
Retirement - Opportunity & Choice
Retirement - I can't wait!
But only when it is imminent do we give it the serious thought it requires. It is important to plan in good time as it is not unusual today to be facing almost as much time after work as you have worked; you will certainly need to consider how you will spend the next twenty-plus years.
Loss of status, concern about finances and lifestyle can blight the prospect of this most rewarding phase of life. Refusing to face up to such a major life change imposes unnecessary stress and delays the benefits for which you have worked so long.
Your retirement impacts profoundly on your spouse/partner. Their established routine may have been based on your daily absence and adjustment will need to be made; often unvoiced are their concerns for your acceptance of a new lifestyle. Those living alone will have to face the daily loss of work-related meeting and greeting. Retirement is a new beginning - the opportunity to write your own agenda to meet new challenges.
This interactive workshop is designed for all staff approaching retirement and will allow those attending to review priorities and develop a lifestyle plan which includes consideration of:
- Health Planning
- Money Management
- New Life Change
- Challenges - contributing expertise and developing interests
- New Opportunities including earning in retirement or working for yourself
- Personal lifestyle choices
Retirement provides both opportunity and choice - retirement is for living!
N.B. This course is open to staff members and their partner. There will be a charge of £25 for your partner to cover administration and refreshments
