Retirement preparation programs as facilitators of human potential

Abstract

In this article, we explain the retirement preparation program concept and its benefits. Society prepares individuals to work, but does it prepare them for retirement? Retirement implies the reorganization and building of projects to achieve well-being and a clear aim. Retirement preparation programs are effective options for people to go through their emotional instability. These programs encourage reflection and help to build strategies to face change. People in these programs are able to face changes in their lives. They can think on their career opportunities and they can reconsider what they postponed. These people reconnect with their postponed vocations. They reconsider their bonds and the way they want to end their careers. People notice a difference in their subjective thinking as they start participating in the retirement preparation programs. All this makes them protagonists of their present and their future.
