As CEO of Optima Office, Jennifer Barnes shares how she introduced 'flextirement,' a flexible work arrangement, as a bridge between full-time employment and retirement for aging employees who wanted to continue working while gradually reducing hours to balance personal life. This innovative approach not only benefits employees by maintaining engagement and transferring knowledge but also advantages companies by retaining experienced talent. As the concept gains traction, embracing 'flextirement' could redefine retirement as a gentle, flexible slope rather than a traditional cliff for both employees and employers.
