Digital Creative Agency MiWebb's retirement

MiWebb, led by Michael Webbers, specializes in custom software development for a diverse clientele, including big names such as the RAI. The company strived to provide a flexible and appropriate retirement solution that meets the diverse needs of their staff, ranging from young graduates to employees with families.

Each staff member has their own pension plan

The challenge for miWebb was to find a pension solution that was both flexible and understandable to all their employees. They were struggling to find a provider that could offer a retirement plan that suited the varying financial needs and life stages of their staff.

Vive was chosen as a pension partner because of their unique model that gives each staff member an individual pension fund. This gives employees the ability to actively manage their own financial future and adapt to their changing living conditions. For example, employees can adjust their contribution to the pension every month. This model provided the flexibility that miWebb was looking for to accommodate both younger and older employees.

“We have some boys who already have wives and children and boys who have just finished their studies. Especially at a time of scarcity in the staff corner, pleasing your staff is very important.” - Michael Webbers, founder of MiWebb.

More awareness leads to more financial planning

Vive proactively supported MiWebb's staff by explaining the various aspects of retirement planning, including the annuity basis and the benefits of early planning. These educational sessions increased financial awareness among staff and encouraged them to proactively work on their retirement planning.

After implementing the Vive pension plan at miWebb, there has been a noticeable increase in engagement and discussions about retirement planning within the company. Employees are not only more informed, they are also more active in their financial future. Some employees have even taken steps to consult an estate planner, suggesting increased proactivity.

“The second most important result so far is that the team is actually talking about retirement. And also how they deal with it themselves and why they made that choice. And it's not that they're just talking about it, but that they're actually working on it instead of just talking.” - Michael Webbers.
