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
  
  

Book your employees on a Mercer pre-retirement seminar

Mercer pre-retirement seminars are a cost-effective way of helping your employees plan for retirement. They support your company’s values and contribute to workforce morale by showing your concern for employees’ wellbeing. The seminars are facilitated by Mercer and led by two highly qualified tutors from Life Academy, a leading educational charity that helps people learn about managing changes to their lives.

Who should attend?

We recommend that individuals who are within five years of their planned retirement would benefit most from this seminar. Corporate sponsors who would like to know more are also welcome to attend.

What is covered?

Benefits to your employees

Individuals will meet others at similar stages of their life and will share their experiences in an educational, fun and interactive setting. They will be helped to:

• Understand the issues important to them as they approach retirement
  
  
• Plan for the transition into a new lifestyle
  
  
• Identify different ways to get the most out of retirement

Benefits for you as an employer

You can show how you are committed to supporting your workforce, despite the challenging pensions backdrop and increasing budgetary constraints. Your employees will appreciate your investment in helping them plan for their retirement. It will reinforce the recognition in them as valued members of the team and will create positive feedback about your HR policies and practice.
