2 Well Beyond Transition to Retirement Systems Framework Well Beyond Transition to Retirement Systems Framework 3 What is the Transition to Retirement Systems Framework? At the Emergency Services Foundation (ESF) we are committed to supporting people to achieve a healthy transition to retirement and we know Victoria’s emergency service organisations share this commitment. With this in mind, ESF has established the Well Beyond program. This is a pioneering practice approach to helping emergency service workers transition to retirement in a way that helps them flourish. The System Framework introduced here is a key part of Well Beyond. With extensive input from Victoria’s emergency services sector, ESF created this Framework to guide the sector and agencies in implementing a leading practice approach to planning for and improving the experience of retirement. The Framework has a specific focus on promoting retiree wellbeing both physical and psychological. This addresses a significant gap in retirement planning processes across the sector, and creates a muchneeded holistic approach. The Framework offers concrete actions and associated resources for implementation at different organisational levels across the career span and suggested ways to monitor those actions through alignment to existing organisational processes. It addresses multiple aspects of retirement, not just financial considerations, but also how to deal with all the social, emotional and physical changes associated with retirement and transitioning to a new phase of life. While rigorous in its approach, the Framework allows for adaptation to fit different organisational contexts. At this stage, the Systems Framework focuses on people in transition to retirement from paid work and at retirement age (i.e. not those retiring for health or other reasons), but ultimately ESF’s intention is to expand this to include all emergency service workers at a variety of transition points.
