Personal life decisions have a profound impact on individuals, their families and their workplace. 

The concept of a comfortable retirement or any retirement at all is no longer an option for many. Family pressures of caregiving, adult children moving home, financial loss, mounting debt and a crumbling set of social programs requires individuals to take responsibility for their future in ways never imagined.

 

Statistics show that less than 3% of us make life plans before a crisis occurs. Family shocks (job loss, a family health crisis, caregiving) have a major influence on an individuals’ planning for their future. However, individuals in crisis-mode often make poor decisions that negatively impact their personal and professional lives.

For employers, the engagement and productivity of mature workers is even more critical in today’s workplace.   As job scopes increase, knowledge workers increase, expanded decision making is delegated, mature workers act as leaders and mentors for younger workers, and those aged 50+ plan to stay working longer - mature workers have a significant impact on business outcomes. The cost of lost productivity and disengaged workers (that in many ways can be attributed to poor life decisions) is staggering, making any effort to improve it a strategic imperative. 

 

Employers need new tools for dealing with a workforce that is rapidly changing. Mature workers need new tools to help them navigate the complexities of life. Rethinking Your Future™ is designed to help employers support their employees by providing a practical approach to planning their lives before a crisis occurs.
