The Vision Center for Futures
Creation challenges you who believe in prevention
over fire fighting!
In our work with futures studies
we often see needs long before others. This is the
case with the aging of the population and lack of
workers that is predicted to follow. For unemployment
offices, employers and individuals who feel that working
preventatively is important we offer two courses,
"Repack" and "Baby Boomer's Golden
Years".
Repack
We realize that your schedule is
booked and that it can be difficult to think too far
into the future. In spite of that… the retirement
of the after war generation and the gap this will
leave in the workforce needs to be considered. The
question has been discussed for a long time as a future
problem. Even if the bulk of those born after the
WWII have several years before retiring it is already
occurring in a few professions. The situation is worsened
in certain countries when people take early retirement
or are on sick leave. It is best to handle the problem
before it gets out of hand. What has been considered
a future problem is now today's problem. We see it
as our contribution not only to make people aware
of this situation, but also to provide practical solutions.
"Repack" is one solution. The project has
as its goal to flatten the effects of mass retirement
of this large generation. It gives older people ("50+"),
the chance to develop their own ideas and dreams and
gives employees the opportunity to define their own
conditions.
"Repack" is designed for those
of you who recognize yourselves in the following situations:
 You are
satisfied with your job, but have dreams that haven't
been actualized.
 You
are not satisfied with your present position and would
like to do something else.
You are
on sick leave largely due to stress related problems
and are faced with burnout if you continue.
You
are unsure if your retirement funds will be enough.
You feel
that you want to contribute to society in a more meaningful
way.
You
feel that you want to retire in order to fulfill your
dreams.
"Repack" is a project that
has the purpose of:
helping with the creation of your own future
increasing your chances to work in the workplace of
the future
helping you achieve increased financial security in
your older years.
Project design
Every project is made up of 20 people with different
professional backgrounds.
The
project takes place during 20 weeks and contains 12
meetings.
Participation
can mean 2 overnight stays, one in the beginning and
one at the end of the project.
Background
Many people are retiring at the same time.
Governments
need a stable workforce for stability.
People
have better health and live longer than ever before.
Fewer
children are being born.
This
gives you in retirement ages a fantastic chance to
create your own future. In other words, you have the
upper hand in negotiations!
