The pension plan of Digital Creative Agency MiWebb

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 offer a flexible and suitable pension solution that meets the diverse needs of their staff, ranging from young graduates to employees with families.

Each employee gets their own pension plan

The challenge for MiWebb was to find a pension solution that was both flexible and understandable for all their employees. They struggled to find a provider that could offer a pension plan that matched the varying financial needs and life phases of their staff.

Vive was chosen as a pension partner because of their unique model that gives each employee an individual pension fund. This gives employees the opportunity to actively manage their own financial future and adapt to their changing life circumstances. For example, employees can adjust their monthly contribution to the pension. This model offered the flexibility that MiWebb was looking for to accommodate both younger and older employees.

"We have some guys who already have a wife and children and guys who have just finished their studies. Especially in a time of scarcity in the personnel corner, pleasing your staff is very important." - Michael Webbers, founder MiWebb.

Greater awareness leads to better financial planning

Vive proactively supported MiWebb's staff by explaining the various aspects of pension planning, including the basics of annuities and the benefits of early planning. These educational sessions increased financial awareness among staff and encouraged them to proactively start planning their pensions.

After the implementation of the Vive pension plan at MiWebb, there has been a noticeable increase in engagement with and discussions about pension planning within the company. Employees are not only more informed but also more actively involved in their financial future. Some employees have even taken steps to consult an estate planner, indicating increased proactivity.

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

Pension strategy and education leads to a more engaged team

The collaboration with Vive has provided MiWebb with a clear, transparent, and flexible pension solution that aligns well with their diverse workforce. A well-thought-out pension strategy, supported by effective communication and education, can lead to a stronger and more engaged team.
