Pre Retirement And Pension Planning Program

Theme: Retirement – The New Phase Of Your Life
Course Duration: 2 Days

Program Overview:

Some people see retirement as a whole new world of opportunity; others approach it with a sense of concern. As your employees’ approach retirement, they need to think about:

  • How and when will they retire – what are their options?
  • How will they make use of their time – work and leisure?
  • Their financial requirements – supporting themselves for many years to come
  • Their health and wellbeing – enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle

Pre-retirement seminars are a cost-effective way of helping your employees plan for retirement. They support your organisation’s values and contribute to workforce morale by showing your concern for employees’ wellbeing.

Due to the global, political and economic changes, it has become necessary for many organizations in Kenya to undertake specific measures that would enable them to operate economically and profitably. Of all the on-going re-structuring Programmes, none presents as serious implementation difficulties as the retrenchment programme aimed at reducing staff to an economical number.

The staff members who retire after the normal retirement age also need to be assisted to make a smooth transition from an employed to self-employed status, and enabling them to fit into the “new” societies that they retire into. This requires the management of trauma, removing of fears and other mental blocks that hinder the transition. For this reason, we are pleased to respond to your request to design a program that could successfully address and mitigate any negative physiological, physical, social and economic factors that retirees could experience and provide insights on how best to cope with life after retirement.
