Managing My Life: Making the Retirement Decision is a program for individuals who have either been offered an early retirement option by their company or anticipate an offer will be made. The focus of the program is to lead participants to consider the implications on their lives of accepting or turning down an early retirement option, so that they can make a more informed decision about their retirement option.

It is highly recommended that spouses and partners also complete the program.

The Five Key Areas covered in this program are:

1. The Relationship Between Work and Retirement- To help participants realize that work provides them with a daily structure and satisfies many fundamental motivations and needs. These needs must be replaced adequately in retirement or semi-retirement, and it is best to begin the planning process before one retires.
2. Self-Motivation - To help employees understand the elements of self-motivation and realize how important it is to understand and focus on one's strengths, motivators and needs, when setting goals and taking action.
3. Lifestyle- Areas discussed within lifestyle include: living environment, volunteer activities, relationships, hobbies and activities, travel, exercise, nutrition and second career options.
4. Misconceptions about Aging and Retirement- To help participants articulate any concerns and feelings they have and develop a more positive view toward retirement or semi-retirement.
5. Goal-Setting and Taking Action- To help participants realize how important it is to set retirement goals and to understand the process involved in setting realistic and measurable goals supported by action plans.
