Five reasons why providing retirement coaching to your people is good for your business

We’re ageing better and living longer than ever before. The retirement landscape has changed and many people are now preferring the concept of an ‘encore’ to traditional retirement. Some pursue second “portfolio” careers with a mix of consultancy, non-executive directorship appointments, charity trustee appointments or other volunteering roles. How can your organisation help?

Futurum Group’s ENCORE retirement coaching programme helps people explore what they want from the next stage of their life and plan for this important transition. The coaching programme can form part of a bigger strategic retirement experience in your organisation. The ENCORE Retirement Programme can form an integral part of your broader employee experience and HR strategies and run alongside tailored online content and workshops. We help organisations provide a supportive retirement experience by making it quick and easy to implement. Contact us to get started.

Here are the top five reasons why a supportive retirement strategy is good for your business:

  • Goodwill. Your people will benefit from being supported and having the opportunity to design a positive ENCORE or retirement. This will help preserve goodwill and key relationships. They will be good leavers and ambassadors for your brand after they have left

  • Avoid disputes. You will minimise difficult conversations and management time in disputed departures. It gives you the chance to agree productive contribution and succession planning pending a supported and respectful exit

  • Prevent ageist behaviour. You will be tackling an important D&I challenge by supporting and investing in your older workers, helping to prevent ageism in your organisation. You will be seen as caring about your older workers and what they need to thrive

  • Improve your culture. It’s good for your culture when your people see their colleagues experiencing a positive and supported retirement or ENCORE; you’re demonstrating that you value the amazing contribution senior colleagues make

  • Win the war for talent. It will be seen as a key benefit. In a squeezed labour market, candidates are scrutinising the employee experience at potential organisations

Providing a supportive and positive retirement experience is good for your business and very beneficial to your people.
