Retirement and a break in employment can cause workers suffering. The objective of this study was to analyze the perception about retirement of people aged 45 and over in the private sector and of Human Resources professionals involved in Retirement Preparation Programs. The methodology used was exploratory and, for data collection, semi-structured interviews were carried out, classified into a priori categories and analyzed through content analysis. Twenty professionals participated in the research, selected by the researcher's professional network and by the "Snowball" technique. The results showed the participants' perception of the meaning pf work as dedication, accomplishment, source of support and losses due to retirement. These are the medical assistance, absence from coexistence with co-workers and financiers. The importance of the Retirement Preparation Programs was found to be an opportunity to plan and establish new goals. It was concluded that the retirement was perceived by the participants as an opportunity for more time available, quality of life and health. However, they showed concern regarding the financial aspect and maintenance of medical assistance.
