Part 6

Relationships

Social connections and relationships are essential for overall well-being, particularly in retirement. Working in retirement can provide opportunities for social interaction and the development of new relationships.

To maximize the benefits of social connections, retirees should seek out work environments that foster collaboration, teamwork, and a positive social atmosphere. This could involve joining a professional association, attending networking events, or participating in company-sponsored social activities. To minimize the negative impact of social isolation, retirees should also prioritize maintaining and strengthening personal relationships outside of work.
