Retirees who want to feel valued should value others
Retirees regain purpose by valuing others to overcome identity loss after workforce exit, with few preparing for this major life change, the Wall Street Journal reports.
- Recently, retirees and people leaving the workforce rebuild a sense of value by valuing others and seeking to 'feel seen', as highlighted by the headline "The Retirement Cri-sis No One Warns You About: Mattering."
- Leaving the workforce often removes a core identity anchor as people leaving the workplace face identity loss, especially at retirement, prompting a search for new meaning.
- Shifting focus to social roles helps retirees regain purpose as volunteer organizations and communities provide meaningful roles beyond employers and workplaces.
- The shift improves retirees' sense of purpose and wellbeing by positively affecting retirees' mental health and sense of purpose, while greater community participation strengthens social ties and broader public life in retirement contexts.
- The Wall Street Journal recently flagged that very few leave the workplace prepared for identity loss, drawing wider attention to the challenge.
