WorkPrint is a new, landmark approach to career transition where the concept of retirement is no longer a one-time, workplace event that focuses on paycheck replacement. The new retirement leverages work-life balance and wellness initiatives by treating is as a multi-phase journey that:

• Educates and upskills employees for a more personal and positive transition.
• Positions employers as thought leaders in the longevity economy.

This new narrative around retirement allows these innovative companies to get rid of old and outdated policies and perks that foster an ageist view of career transition, reduce workplace satisfaction and productivity, and negatively impact talent management.

Until now, there hasn’t been an effective way for employers to address these needs in a cost-effective and meaningful way that aligns with existing corporate culture, mission, and values. This new framework:

• Enhances intergenerational cooperation and connection
• Opens up new lines of communication with older workers
• Retains wisdom workers through strategic initiatives around phased retirement and volunteer mentorship

The program uses aspects of retirement coaching, succession management, and legacy planning to satisfy key psychological factors for employees in transition including a desire to belong, to be recognized and remembered, to make a difference, and to celebrate life.

Through more modern rituals including cohort learning, on demand life-long learning, and virtual meet-ups, retirement becomes a process that honors, embraces, and enhances the transition for both the employee and employer.
