Forget Pensions \u2014 We (They?) Want Purpose!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We at WUSUT: Wake-Up, Shake-Up, Thrive!<\/a> have observed that retirement conversations in the workplace are often reduced to one topic: money<\/strong>. Yet as the workforce ages, we\u2019re hearing a very different story from employees themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, your people aren\u2019t just asking, \u201cCan I afford to stop working<\/em>?\u201d They\u2019re wondering: \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d \u201cWill I still feel useful?\u201d \u201cWho am I without my job<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
