As the workforce ages, retirement is becoming a more complex and emotionally significant transition. For many employees, retiring marks not only a change in benefits and income but also a shift in identity, community, and purpose. This webinar explores how HR professionals can support aging and retiring employees through a trauma-informed lens—one that recognizes the emotional and psychological dimensions of leaving the workforce.
