Retirement planning is important but no more so than in the current climate and in an increasing complex world and this two day course aims to help individuals to plan ahead for their retirement.
Retirement may mean a period of life when people can enjoy both freedom from responsibility and the freedom to enjoy the rewards of a busy working life. But, for many, paid and unpaid work, caring and other responsibilities form part of life in retirement. Undoubtedly, the very significant changes which individuals undergo at retirement provide both opportunities and challenges.
A major aim of the course is to help people to understand some of the changes which they will experience and explore reactions in a supportive environment. Delegates will obtain relevant information to help them make appropriate decisions now and in the future.
Pre-Retirement Pack: participants (if partners are attending it is one pack per couple) will receive an information pack containing a valuable collection of detailed and up to date information for employees, participants and private individuals.
