The Service Corps of Retired Executives Score (SCORE) is an index used to measure the effectiveness of corporate retirement programs. It measures how well a company is able to retain its retirees, as well as how successful they are in their post-retirement roles. The score is calculated by taking into account the average number of years served by retired executives and the total number of retirements within a given time period. Companies with higher SCORES have better retention rates and demonstrate a commitment to helping their employees make a successful transition from career to retirement. Ultimately, the higher the SCORE, the more attractive an employer will be for experienced professionals looking to take the next step in their career.
