The retirement of Jopp

Jopp, a tech recruitment specialist based in Amsterdam, chose Vive to provide an accessible retirement solution for their growing team. This choice stemmed from increasing employee demand and was a perfect fit with the company's culture.

Move to retirement plan due to team growth

"The two of us started our company six years ago, and at the time, retirement was not at all part of the questions within our company. But as we grew in staff, it became something we heard more often," said Thomas Lock, co-founder of Jopp.

Jopp faced a clear problem: Employees were increasingly asking about retirement plans, while the company itself sought a solution that fit their culture. Many traditional providers proved too complicated for a growing company like Jopp.

Vive's solution: simplicity and speed

After a search, Jopp chose Vive because of its user-friendly approach. "Actually very positive how easy it was, how quickly it could be arranged. A specific result is that that question is no longer there. People are happy that you arranged it," Thomas says.

Vive's app makes it easy for employees to manage their retirement. "Because it works like an investment, it's also nice to open the app and check your returns. That's just fun for at the lunch table."

Pension as an attractive condition of employment

One concrete added value is that Jopp can now offer pensions as a condition of employment. "With new applicants, you can now say, 'We offer pensions.' That's something that gets a good response."

Personal approach

Thomas appreciates Vive's personal approach. "The cooperation is very pleasant. They are easily accessible people. You have little to worry about and the lines are short. If you need something, you can always call or app, and there's just an answer."

"I think Vive is a somewhat smaller team and we are not a mega-sized company ourselves. That match makes working together very enjoyable."

Retirement without hassle

A big advantage, according to Thomas, is that you don't have to be an expert. "With Vive, it's actually done for you. If you want to become more expert at it, you have that option, but in general you don't have to be an expert at it."

The partnership between Jopp and Vive resulted in happy employees and few administrative concerns for the company - exactly what Jopp was looking for in a retirement solution.
