Next Act

Times have changed. Career paths – even life paths – are no longer linear. Your leaders and people at all levels are your greatest assets – and many have made indelible impacts on your organization. When the time comes for them to consider a next step, they may need help developing a plan of what to do in retirement.

As they prepare to exit the organization, consider their options, and move toward a new future, they remain invaluable brand ambassadors for your organization. Be a thought partner with them as they explore their next act.

Your challenges

• Does your organization have a comprehensive succession and workforce plan that includes methods of thoughtfully transitioning separating employees into their next chapter?
• Is your company seeking alternatives to the traditional idea of outplacement and career transition by helping employees explore different paths or retirement ideas, such as board roles, entrepreneurial endeavors, mentorship opportunities, or speaking/writing professions?
• Do your exiting employees need additional counsel beyond the conventional financial impacts to design a non-traditional life path?
• Do you need tools to contribute to an alumni community for your brand?
  

Our approach

• Take a holistic approach to envisioning their future
