New ways to retire: How to make the transition to retirement successfully!

Anyone who thinks that retirement is the end of a fulfilling phase of life is seriously mistaken! This is emphasized by Prof. (FH) Dr. Tanja Eiselen, an experienced work and organizational psychologist, in her upcoming lecture. Retirement not only means the end of work, but also presents those affected with new challenges. “How do I structure my day if it doesn’t matter when I get up?” asks Eiselen, shedding light on the uncertainties that come with retirement. These questions are central to creating a fulfilling life after a professional career, as in the article by theaterkosmos.at is described.

The deputy chairwoman of the “Pretty Best Years” association, Tanja Eiselen, adds that with the end of working life, not only financial security but also social contacts, structure and a sense of meaning are lost. To make this smooth transition into retirement easier, the association offers numerous lectures and workshops to support retirees and their companies. “We have to find out hobbies or interests,” explains Peter Weiskopf, chairman of the association, and encourages people to actively think about how they spend their time in retirement. Switzerland started similar programs 40 years ago, while Austria now wants to catch up quickly vorarlberg.orf.at reported.

Preparing for retirement

The “Pretty Best Years” association not only targets individual retirees, but also companies, to ensure knowledge transfer and a respectful transition. A broad program aims to take advantage of the opportunity to make this phase of life self-determined and happy. “There are hardly any offers in this area in Austria,” says Weiskopf, who calls for active participation. The value of lectures and workshops in preparing for the “retirement” phase of life is undeniable, as they provide crucial insights and tools for post-work satisfaction.
