Between now and 2027, about 4.1 million people will reach age 65, often considered to be a popular retirement age. While many people aspire to retire early, others plan to continue working well past their 65th birthday. Planning for retirement requires workers to consider how they will sustain a comfortable lifestyle and plan for health care costs.
When they begin to think about retirement, workers often turn to their employers for help navigating their options for health care coverage. As an employer, there are things you can do to help them ease their mind and plan for their futures— without overburdening your Human Resources team.
Join Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan for a free webinar, “The Golden Years: Easing the Transition to Retirement Health Coverage,” on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. ET. Led by Terry Rush, director of Senior Health Services Sales & Retention at Blue Cross, businesses will get insights into their employees’ journey to retirement and learn ways to help employees thoughtfully plan for health care.
Register for this webinar by visiting the Blue Cross Master Class website today. This course is certified by the Human Resources Certification Institute® (HRCI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) for continuing education credit and has been approved for one HR recertification credit hour through HR Certification Institute®.
This Master Class will offer insight into the early retirement, Medicare and later retirement journeys and look at strategies to help employees ease their transition into the next stage of their lives. The number one and number two concerns among retirees are lack of money and health care costs. And those two concerns go hand-in-hand: As retirees live longer lives, their costs are higher for their medical care. In fact, studies project that the average couple retiring at 65 will need $315,000 to cover health care expenses in their retirement. Employers can leave retiring employees feel cared for and valued by helping them save for their future without fear or anxiety.
