Recently, Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest people in the world, announced he would take a different role at his company, Amazon. Corporate moves make the news all the time, but for the largest companies, the story can jump from the business page to the front page.1,2 It’s understandable to wonder how this might impact you. It might appear like the start of something bigger or the first domino, so to speak. But corporations like Bezos’ go to great lengths to make transitions smooth.

When it comes time for your transition to a new responsibility or retirement, will your move be as well planned? If you're not sure, let us help you review and then make sure that it is. |
