"If a large number of employees take early retirement within a short space of time, an organisation could face succession planning issues. It might also have to spend significant sums on recruitment to replace key staff members who have left. A phased retirement programme can be a good way for organisations to retain the skills and talents of their older workers, while giving them greater flexibility around how they use their time." What is phased retirement? "Phased retirement allows employees who are approaching retirement age to reduce their work hours gradually, over a number of months or years.

You get wiser as you get older, which means you know a lot, and you know how to use the information. It also means you’re a much better teacher—the best teachers are older people. So early on, you have fluid intelligence, and later on, you have crystallized intelligence. The trick is to go from fluid to crystallized, to go from innovator to instructor."
