Introduction

Traditionally, retirement is usually a period of leisure, fulfillment and perhaps, self rediscovery. It can also be seen as a time of economic challenges.

The transition from full time employment to retirement can pose many social, domestic and financial problems for those affected. Unless these are recognized and approached positively, the prospects of an active and happy retirement soon begin to fade.

This workshop therefore is designed to adequately equip and prepare employees to appreciate that retirement is one of the changes and challenges that is inevitable in working life and to prepare them psychologically to face the imminent challenge
