Read on to discover some of the benefits you can enjoy after you retire from Zebra Technologies.
1. Mental Benefits
Working during your Zebra Technologies retirement can help maintain mental agility as you learn new skills. Staying engaged in work helps build 'mental muscle,' which can lessen the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimers(2) and ward off the signs of aging.
