Late Career Planning

Get in touch

Lockton helps businesses understand the long-term working intention of its employees

    Often mature employees leave work because they don’t understand what their long-term working options are. Consequently, employees leave because they believe they “have to”, rather than because they want to or are ready to. Conversely, businesses may be taken by surprise when long-term employees announce they are leaving, and succession plans are not in place, leaving the organisation exposed through loss of IP and reduced workforce capacity. In an environment where skilled staff may be hard to get, it is important to understand the long-term working intentions of employees and to design work which is safe and sustainable for older employees.

    Lockton’s Late Career Planning programs also encourage staff to undertake realistic post-work planning to ensure employees retire with dignity and certainty for their future years.

    Designing a late career plan with employees will retain valuable, experienced staff and increase long-term workforce participation.

    Undertaking a merger or acquisition (M&A) can be an exciting time, offering new opportunities, fresh ways of working, and the potential for growth. But for employees, M&A can also bring uncertainties – not least, around the status of their employee benefits. Failure to plan effectively could see much-needed benefits interrupted, with damaging consequences for satisfaction and productivity. And where employees suffer, it can threaten the success of the merger or acquisition overall. To avoid these scenarios, it’s vital that companies take steps to secure a smooth transition of employee benefits during any M&A. If successful, a merger can empower employees to succeed within the workplace and beyond. The process of merging benefits is not easy, however – and various considerations need to be made.M&A best practice: harmonising employee benefits
