AnnotationThe transition from work to retirement can be challenging. The authors outline the implications of the Third Age phenomenon as a business issue for organisations, and as a critical life-planning requirement for individuals. They suggest practical ways in which businesses can enhance their mature employees' motivation and performance; and indicate how people can plan their future in such a way that they will experience a fulfilled Third Age. They also share experiences gained in setting up the consultancy firm, Future Perfect. Case studies are presented as examples of best practice: Guinness, Kleinwort Benson, Shell, BT, IBM, Ford, and Marks and Spencer. (RH).
