Thesis (MTech (Human Resource Management))--Cape Technikon, 1999. / Although retirement planning is well known in most South African organizations it is an
aspect that enjoys a low priority in the majority of organisations resulting in weak and
insufficient retirement planning.
The aforementioned together with a lack of sufficient retirement planning preparation within
local authorities often leads to the formation of an incorrect perception when individuals
retire.
Aspects affecting retirement planning include the continued high inflation rate, affirmative
action, political and economic uncertainty, the population explosion, unemployment and
rationalization.
It is therefore imperative that officials receive the necessary training and leadership for the
expected success of retirement. An important shortcoming exists in this unique field to
school and prepare officials and the importance of establishing an independent future after
an active career becomes essential. The focus point for this investigation was to determine to what degree retirement planning is
operational in local authorities. Secondly, the degree to which available information in
connection with retirement planning is used to prepare officials effectively for the process
was determined. Subsequently problems experienced with the application and
implementation of a retirement plan for officials as well as obstacles that could hinder the
process of successful timeous retirement planning was also looked at.
