OUR SERVICES
Early Retirement Programmes
Why we work in this area
- HDA has worked in this area for almost 30 years, with significant success supporting early retirees across the UK and internationally
- Retirement is such an old fashioned word, with little meaning in today’s world, and our role as career consultants is to help fill the gap between what those entering retirement have and what they need. For these people there are rich opportunities. We help people broaden their options, including looking into how people can blend retirement with continued commercial activity.
- In our experience, people opting to take retirement packages at relatively young ages are increasingly interested in remaining economically active by moving into self-employment.
- We understand emergent early retirement trends, eg. the growth of volunteer work post retirement, the growing ‘grey gap year’ trend and so on. All in all, retirement is not what it used to be, post-retirement opportunities are rich, and we are well placed to provide career transition leverage to people facing this stage of their lives.
Our competencies in this area
- HDA’s team has significant experience providing career transition leverage for early retirees in the UK and globally; providing highly tailored individual and workshop-based support to early retirees who may have highly complex career transition, domestic and financial considerations
- HDA runs a range of highly effective early retirement transition workshops and seminars, with broad focus (from lifestyle to financial considerations, to interim management and consultancy guidance) which complement our one-to-one support in this area
- HDA partners with a range of professional organisations to leverage early retirees, including independent financial advisers, tax experts, post retirement lifestyle experts and so on.
Our approach in this area
- Our principal approach is to provide one-to-one consultancy-led support to people entering early retirement. This takes the form of support over an agreed period of time, with broad focus on:
- The financial aspects of retirement and retirement planning, including pension planning
- Tax planning
- Lifestyle planning and health
- Stress management and coaching
- Business planning and funding, where eg. Retirees opt to remain active, via self-employment and consultancy, (networking and legal advice/support are also provided, subject to individual needs)
- Considering opportunities in the voluntary sector
- Spouses and partners are invited to participate in the process given the likelihood of significant lifestyle adjustments
- HDA partners with a range of specialist providers to provide a comprehensive service to early retirees
- One-to-one consultancy support is complemented by a range of workshops focused on lifestyle and financial changes, including eg:
- HDA Engaging With Your Future Workshop
- HDA Financial Planning for your Future Workshop
- HDA Planning Retirement Workshop
- HDA Stress Management Workshop
- HDA Interim Management Workshop
