Local Business Leader Transition Research Finds that Businesses Could Lose Millions

Saskatoon – The retirement exodus of about 3.3 million Canadian employees over the next decade will have an impact on business continuity, financial stability, and business growth.

Kathleen Ozmun and Marielle Gauthier, both experienced professional leadership coaches, conducted discovery research focusing on retiring and incoming leader transitions in Saskatoon.

“A change in leadership is a time of flux and change for everyone - the leader and the team,” says Marielle Gauthier, Redworks Communications and Coaching. “These transitions create potential risks at every level of the organization and profitability, productivity and positivity can be negatively affected.”

Why we struggle with the transition into a post-career life

Your retirement years should give you the best opportunities to rekindle old passions and discover new ones. However, research has shown that almost half of the people entering into retirement struggle with transitioning into a post-career life.

Why is this!?

👉 Retirement is more than just finances
Although many pre-retirees are concerned about their finances, money isn't the only thing on their minds. The impact of the non-financial issues like emotional, psychological and social factors plays a big role in your successful retirement.
👉 Retirement is commonly an emotional time

Whether it’s missing the ‘comfort’ of a schedule, losing your identity or a sense of purpose, it’s common for people adjusting to retirement to experience a range of worries and fears.

What’s the solution? Plan ahead and manage your transition well. If you’re not sure where to start, sign up for my Power Up Your Retirement course!

Remember when you made wishes as a kid?! Imagine one wish could be granted to you for retirement. What would you wish for?

Perhaps you wish to deepen certain friendships, discover a new passion, spend more time with those you love, or travel to places you’ve never seen before. Perhaps you are opening yourself to personal growth at a depth you’ve never had the chance to dive into before.

Whatever your wish, know that you have what it takes and every step you take in the direction of your dreams gets you one step closer to realization.
