The Aging Workforce: Redefining Careers for the Mature Worker
After 45 or 50 we begin to feel that our future is getting shorter and therefore seeking opportunities to make our careers meaningful becomes more urgent. We are urged to develop ourselves to be all we can be, to let go of unrealised dreams and to move beyond our limited view of self. To address the needs of the older worker, we offer a range of workshops, both developmental and practical for the older worker:-
Planning for Retirement
Full and half day seminars facilitated by Peter Fleming and Kaye Avery are hosted by actuaries, Melville Jessop Weaver. http://www.mjwactuary.co.nz/index.html. These cover the gamut of considerations and information for anyone thinking of retirement planning including, superannuation, KiwiSaver, investing for retirement, managing conflicting pressures, downsizing career, growing generativity – making a contribution, managing health and well being, understanding needs.
The Aging workforce
2 -3 hour workshop sessions for HR people focused on the development needs of the older worker and preparing for an aging workforce. The workshop incorporates recent workforce statistics and developmental theory and provides practical things employers can do to retain, develop and value their older workers.
Working Longer: Working Wiser
Revitalising the heroic journey of working and aging
Next workshops:- November 2010 - To be announced
A full day workshop for people who wish to work longer and more effectively and who want to be better equipped to realise their purpose or contribution later in life. The purpose of the workshop is to integrate personal development and values with a renewed concept of transitioning towards a fulfilling 'retirement'. It is designed to help build understanding of the context we need to navigate and mature into; to explore the nature of our development so that we come to terms with our maturing selves in a holistic and positive way, and to provide tools to help us transcend the limiting assumptions we hold.
