ADT Employees: Discover the Rising Trend of 'Work for Pleasure' in Your Retirement Journey

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for ADT: ADT primarily partners with major health insurance providers to offer its employees comprehensive healthcare coverage. Among these providers are UnitedHealthcare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, both of which are known for their extensive networks and various plan options that cater to different healthcare needs. Healthcare Cost Increases for 2026: In 2026, health insurance premiums for plans obtained through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace are poised for significant increases, with many states projecting hikes that could exceed 60%. Factors contributing to this surge include rising medical costs and the anticipated expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies, which could result in over 22 million marketplace enrollees facing out-of-pocket premium increases of up to 75%. As leading insurers report substantial earnings, ADT employees considering their healthcare options in 2026 should prepare for a financial landscape that may demand strategic planning to mitigate rising costs.

A recent Fidelity Investments poll illuminates new trends in the ever-changing retirement planning landscape.  Notably, 66% of respondents envision a phased-in approach to retirement, which deviates from the conventional full-stop strategy.  This choice shows a shift towards flexible retirement solutions across generations, as evidenced by the significant interest shown by both Gen Zers and millennials.

The wide-ranging implications of this trend point to the necessity of flexibility in retirement advice and planning when preparing to retire from ADT. The departure from traditional retirement models highlights a more comprehensive reassessment of retirement goals and work-life balance, reflecting shifting perspectives toward the end of your ADT career. Advisors who want to fulfill their ADT clients' complex needs must have a thorough understanding of these preferences as retirement planning continues to change.

A growing number of retirees who desire social connection and intellectual stimulation in addition to financial security are adopting the idea of 'Work for Pleasure' in phased retirement, a viable option for ADT employees.  According to an American Psychological Association study, continuing to work after retirement can enhance mental well-being, increase life satisfaction, and facilitate the transition to complete retirement. Retirement is now seen as a new chapter with opportunity for learning, growth, and contribution rather than as an end. This is especially true for seasoned professionals from high-ranking roles.
