Why should HR Leaders integrate the non-financial aspects of retirement?
For decades, your employees dedicated themselves to your company, but when retirement approaches, many feel uncertain about what’s next. Many of them struggle with loss of identity, loss of joy, and loss of purpose and meaning.
In my 2021 survey of over 21,000 retirees, in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, over 50% said that their single biggest challenge in retirement was their health, 35% said fear of outliving their savings and 15% said lack of purpose. Many feel uncertain about what’s next. Many of them end up struggling with loss of identity, loss of joy, and loss of purpose and meaning. For the most part, these are all preventable.
Why should you support your retiring employees to find new ways to thrive, after they retire?
