Collaboration
I am currently inviting expressions of interest from industry partners to collaborate on the following projects
Work-to-retirement transitions have become longer, diverse and more complicated than in the past. We are researching individual career trajectories as well as organisational practices in work-to-retirement transition. We particularly welcome employers willing to share their successes and challenges in helping employees transition to retirement.
