What you will take away from this session
Retiring, or managing the retirement of a key person in your organisation, involves more than checking an age and submitting a pension claim. In this session, we will look at how to assess each situation, the alternatives available and the potential impact of retiring early, deferring retirement or drawing a pension while continuing to work.
Why this session is different
This session focuses on decision-making and goes beyond the regulations. We will combine a practical retirement assessment with employment law and legal perspectives to understand when early retirement, deferred retirement or combining work with a pension may be appropriate, and how to incorporate these decisions into business planning.
Who this is for
This Coffee Talk is designed for organisations and professionals who need to make informed retirement decisions, particularly when these affect key roles, workforce planning or succession.
- Senior management and business leaders with employees approaching retirement.
- HR and employee relations leaders and teams.
- Finance and administration managers involved in planning costs and transitions.
- Executives and professionals who want to better understand the options and implications of their own retirement.
What we will discuss
Retire early, defer or combine work with a pension?
Standard, early, deferred and active retirement, as well as other relevant options, including partial or flexible retirement where applicable.
The financial impact of each decision
How to estimate your pension, review your employment history and contribution bases, and understand the reduction factors and penalties associated with early retirement.
Before you decide: checks and common mistakes
What to review, when might be the best time to retire, which procedures to prepare for and which mistakes to avoid before making a decision that is difficult to reverse.
Retirement from the employer's perspective
Managing employees approaching retirement age, continuity of employment, workforce planning and succession.
Regulatory changes and legal certainty
