Programme AvantAge - séminaires de préparation à la retraite et de maintien de l’employabilité des seniors

For executives and managerial staff too, the onset of retirement is anything but trivial. Building a new life balance after a total commitment to a career cannot be taken for granted, even if the issue of the financial resources available after retirement seems, on the face of it, not to arise. Our seminar, specially designed for executives and managerial staff, aims to help them properly identify the changes that the transition to retirement will bring to their lives and turn them into a positive experience. The goal is also to help participants be more aware of all aspects of this life stage and how they will need to adapt, either individually or as a couple. The seminar gives participants an opportunity to define the broad outlines of their future activities and relationships in order to anticipate and build a new life balance.

Our speakers not only address the transition to retirement from the perspective of purchasing power: they also focus on the psycho-social and emotional issues raised by the transition from one phase to the next.

AvantAge therefore offers:

• Simple tools to make the transition a positive experience
• Ideas for developing projects and activities
• Advice on maintaining and developing network of contacts
• Advice on staying healthy, keeping fit and remaining independent, either alone or as a couple

Turning to finance, we explain the subtle features of the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd pillar pension schemes, as well as particular issues for frontier workers and homeowners. The programme also includes a module on taxation and asset management.

Individuals can, of course, attend the seminar on their own. However, it is advisable for couples to attend together if at all possible. Approaching these matters as a couple from the outset is an added bonus for managing the change successfully.
