What is the Enhanced Lifestyle Planner?

The Enhanced Lifestyle Planner is an Internet-generated report/working document, which helps employees and their spouses/companions determine their key lifestyle choices for now and for their future years. Clarifying these choices is an important step towards:

1.
Achieving these goals
2.
Planning their finances accordingly
3.
Enriching their life by beginning the integration of some of these lifestyle choices immediately into your lives.
 
Key components of the Enhanced Lifestyle Planner include:
Introduction
Questions to consider
Hours at work
What they enjoy about their work and their personal life
Their feelings
Attitude and self-motivation
Lifestyle considerations
Second career path
Volunteer work
Living environment
Exercising
Relationships and friendships
Hobbies and interests
Travel
Special life events
Conclusion
   
There are two different versions of the Enhanced Lifestyle Planner.
Version One — Pre-retirement planning is used with employees who are 45+ and not retired
Version Two — Life-balance is used with employees of all ages including your retirees
   


How Does it Work?

Your employees and their spouses/companions can complete the ELP Questionnaire online on their own or at a group presentation meeting. The questionnaires takes approximately 20 minutes to complete on line. In the group sessions which you can deliver in 1.5 to 3 hours, a paper version of the Questionnaire is used which needs to be subsequently completed on line. After the ELP Questionnaire is completed the data for ELP reports is stored in the Certified Enhanced Lifestyle Planner's Account. The ELP Report is then generated and can be provide it to employees along with the accompanying handouts in 3 possible ways:

1.
In a personal meeting — with an employees and his or her spouse/companion.
2.
In a group presentation meeting — 1.5 to 3 hours in length.
3.
On a self-study basis. Employees and their spouses/companions are e-mailed the ELP Report along with the accompanying handouts and are directed to listen to an ELP audio-feedback session which is posted on line.

Subsequently employees can meet Certified Enhanced Lifestyle Planners for additional support and/or for financial planning.
