Preparation for entering retirement is no longer solely focused on\nproviding access to financing, but rather on establishing a sustainable\nmentoring ecosystem. This step is considered crucial to ensure workers\nremain independent, healthy, and economically productive after\ncompleting their service period.<\/p>\n
This spirit served as the main foundation for PT Bank Mandiri Taspen\nand PT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero) in strengthening their strategic\nsynergy through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on\nWednesday (19\/8). The cooperation includes optimising banking services,\ndeveloping an agro-industry business ecosystem, and pre-retirement human\nresource (HR) preparation programmes.<\/p>\n
Director of Transformation and Business Development at Bank Mandiri\nTaspen Noer Fajrieansyah said the cooperation is not only aimed at\nmeeting the banking service needs of PT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero), but\nalso at building an ecosystem that provides benefits for employees,\nretirees, business actors, and the community.<\/p>\n
According to Noer, one focus of the cooperation is mentoring for\nemployees who are about to enter retirement. The needs of retirees, he\nsaid, are not limited to access to financing, but also mentoring so they\nremain productive after entering retirement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat must be built is an ecosystem. Bank Mandiri Taspen focuses on\nthe pensioner and senior citizen ecosystem, both those entering\nretirement in five, 10 or 20 years\u2019 time,\u201d said Noer.<\/p>\n
He said the synergy with PT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero) can expand\nthe mentoring programme through business development and social\nactivities that have the potential to provide economic benefits.<\/p>\n
One of the opportunities being explored is the development of the\nagricultural sector and business ecosystem, including through\nnon-subsidised kiosks and commercial activities involving business\nactors, the senior citizen ecosystem and the community.<\/p>\n
Noer expressed hope that the MoU would be followed up promptly\nthrough concrete programmes so that the benefits of the cooperation can\nbe felt directly by the community.<\/p>\n
Director of Finance and General Affairs at PT Petrokimia Gresik\n(Persero) Adityo Wibowo said Bank Mandiri Taspen is one of the company\u2019s\nstrategic partners in expanding synergy.<\/p>\n
According to Adityo, the scope of cooperation is broader than just a\nbusiness relationship because it can create added value for the company,\nemployees, and the community.<\/p>\n
From a corporate perspective, the synergy can include transactional\nservices, fund management, optimisation of banking services, and\nfinancing tailored to the company\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cPT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero) is a strategic partner. Not only\nbuilding a business relationship, but how to create great value for the\ncompany, employees, and the community,\u201d said Adityo.<\/p>\n
Adityo added that PT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero) also pays attention\nto employees until they enter retirement. Currently, around 90 per cent\nof the company\u2019s employees are under 40 years old.<\/p>\n
With this composition, most employees are expected to enter\nretirement in the next 10-15 years. Nevertheless, the company has begun\npreparing programmes so that employees remain independent and productive\nafter retirement.<\/p>\n
Therefore, PT Petrokimia Gresik (Persero) welcomes the pre-retirement\npreparation and entrepreneurship development programmes that are part of\nthe cooperation with Bank Mandiri Taspen.<\/p>\n
In addition to the retirement programme, the cooperation between the\ntwo companies also opens up opportunities for developing an\nagro-industry business ecosystem. One of these is through the\ndevelopment of business packages for distributors and retailers as well\nas business schemes that can strengthen the agro-industry supply\nchain.<\/p>\n
This step is considered in line with the business of PT Petrokimia\nGresik (Persero), which operates in the agro-industry sector. The\necosystem development is expected not only to support product\navailability, but also to create added value for business actors and the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
From a corporate and supply chain perspective, the cooperation\nbetween the two entities also extends to the development of business\npackages for distributors and retailers of agro-industry products, as\nwell as collaboration on Corporate Social and Environmental\nResponsibility (TJSL) programmes focused on community economic\nempowerment and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope this cooperation does not stop at banking needs and\nretirement preparation, but develops into the construction of a broad\nbusiness ecosystem that provides real benefits for both companies and\nthe community,\u201d he explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/not-just-financing-retirement-programme-now-focuses-on-mentoring-1787241080", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
