Supporting Retirement Transitions with Encore Coaching™

Early-career employees are often surrounded by opportunities: graduate schemes, mentorship programmes, and accelerated leadership pathways. But for those approaching retirement, the journey looks very different.

Individuals in their 50s or 60s are often left without meaningful support at precisely the time when the transition can feel most profound. Retirement is not simply about leaving a role. It is a deeply personal milestone that touches identity, self-worth, future security, and belonging.

After years or often decades of contribution, stepping away can bring uncertainty. That’s why these transitions deserve to be approached with nuance, empathy, and respect.

Too often, we hear that people delay or avoid engaging with retirement planning because they don’t feel supported to do so either in their organisation or within themselves. At Futurum Group, our role is to change that.

Through Encore Coaching™, we create psychologically safe spaces where individuals can reflect, explore, and plan for what comes next. Using our structured Encore stage coaching, people are given the tools and time to clarify their purpose, reframe goals, and define how they want to live and contribute to the years ahead.

Retirement, when supported in this way, becomes less about ending and more about beginning, a chance to shape the next chapter with confidence and meaning.
