Six tips to ensure the time in your organization leaves a lasting and positive impact
As you get closer to retirement, it’s natural to start thinking about what comes next. But before you say your goodbyes and walk out the door, pause to consider the legacy you want to leave behind. How do you want to be remembered by the people you worked with? What values, practices or achievements do you want to be known for? This is more than just being recognized for your contributions. It is about creating a sense of closure.
Consider these six strategies to ensure your time in the organization leaves a lasting and positive impact:Depending on how long you’ve been with your organization, you likely have a wealth of institutional knowledge you’re carrying around in your head. So take the time to document key processes and insights, and to educate younger colleagues. Develop a shared repository where you document important processes, strategies and best practices.
As you think about your retirement, not all of these six strategies may resonate with you, or even apply to your specific situation. But find the ideas that align with your values, strengths and the contributions you’ve made during your career, and move forward with those. Whatever you choose, your actions now will help ensure your legacy endures long after you’ve left. Reflect on what matters most to you, and act now so that you leave a meaningful, lasting impact.
