‘Life audits’ weigh benefits of discontinuing work against carrying on
Supermarket chain Booths has addressed the issue of variable retirement ages for staff by introducing a “life audit” pre-retirement course for staff aged 55 and older.

The retailer says it prizes employees in their seventies, and even eighties, but also recognises there is a “younger, fitter and more forward-thinking” generation of pre-retirees that need support.
