Psychological Associates Introduces Pre-Retirement Coaching

Psychological Associates, a consulting company that applies behavioral science to business performance, recently introduced pre-retirement executive coaching. This new service develops self-awareness and actively prepares employees for the future in terms of optimally investing in their current role, as well as transitioning into a life beyond full-time employment.

The new coaching program assists corporations with their pre-retirees who typically decrease workload involvement and quality since they are focused on planning for retirement. The three-year plan – which integrates monthly coaching sessions and tools that lead to discovery, support, action planning, and development – helps pre-retirees shift toward retirement while simultaneously redefining expectations and goals for their current roles.

“Pre-retirement coaching is designed to ensure a company’s future progress through effective succession planning, which is a topic we focus on with many of our clients,” said Psychological Associates’ Vice President of Organizational Consulting Dr. Patricia Bagsby, who designed and developed the pre-retirement curriculum. “We work with pre-retirees to lower their stress while simultaneously raising their commitment to their company.”

Psychological Associates helps clients select, develop and retain their best employees in order to maximize continuous success. Its exclusive Q4 Dimensional Model of Behavior – an easy-to-follow structure that categorizes behavior into logical groupings – is known in the industry for inspiring high-performance behavior and attaining comprehensive results. Consulting capabilities range from selection and assessment services to succession planning and family business solutions.
