Join this workshop to gain insights into strategies and processes around how to assist employers and older workers (40+) to plan a dignified and satisfactory exit from the workplace. Learn about the impact of recent legislation on retirement issues. Are employers setting processes in place? Are older workers engaging with challenges and opportunities presented by the prospect of retirement?  Explore how and when coaching makes a difference. In the workshop we will have the opportunity to coach each other around our various retirement fears and fantasies.
