Abstract
This research explored how organizations use retirement preparation programs to help employees anticipate their disengagement from the communication environment of work and develop realistic expectations of post‐retirement communication changes they may experience. In addition, the study attempted to assess the nature, functions, and goals of organizational communication between retired employees and their former organizations (and their members). In order to achieve the above objectives a survey was sent to representatives of Fortune 100 organizations to determine their organizations’ policies, procedures, and philosophies with respect to the above issues.Keywords
