In today’s digital era, desktop calendars continue to play a vital role in our lives, especially when it comes to managing hectic schedules. They serve as handy tools for planning work, trips, and various activities.
Every year, many companies and organizations in the Maldives keep up the tradition of gifting calendars for the New Year, reflecting a significant practice in the local corporate scene. Among this year’s varied calendar designs, the Pension Office’s 2024 calendar stands out as a clever innovation. Instead of a traditional calendar, it doubles as a coin box, offering a unique blend of functionality. The idea is to help individuals organize their schedules effectively while also encouraging them to save for the future.
Red Creatic, the distinguished local Maldivian printing company, proudly presents the Pension Office 2024 calendar. Established in 2016, Red Creatic has become synonymous with quality and creativity in the printing industry. This calendar, meticulously crafted by Red Creatic, reflects their commitment to excellence and showcases their expertise in delivering top-notch printing solutions. As the trusted partner for various printing needs, Red Creatic has seamlessly translated the Pension Office’s vision into a visually captivating and functional calendar for 2024. With precision, attention to detail, and a touch of local flair, Red Creatic’s calendar not only serves as a practical tool but also as a testament to their dedication to providing outstanding printing and design services in the Maldives.
The Pension Office administers the Maldives Retirement Pension Scheme (MRPS), a pension program established by the Pension Act of Maldives. The main goal of this scheme is to ensure people save during their working years to support their lives after retirement.
Currently, the Pension Act mandates a monthly contribution of 14% of the employee’s pensionable wage, with an option for voluntary contributions. These contributions are invested to grow their value and boost savings for retirement. Contributions stop at the age of 65, and members can begin drawing from the pension plan at this point. The pension amount received depends on the balance in their Retirement Savings Account.
The calendar serves as a symbol of their commitment to promoting future savings, acting as a visual reminder of this important cause.
According to social media, the calendar serves as a prompt for setting simple financial goals in 2024, encouraging individuals to achieve them by saving small amounts regularly. Beyond its role as a scheduling tool, the calendar transforms into a stylish desktop companion with the appearance of a coin box, motivating users to set aside space for savings and secure their future.
In an effort to encourage a savings culture, the Pension Office has initiated a campaign. According to their Facebook page, they are giving away 10 calendars to lucky winners. To participate, individuals simply need to share a straightforward financial goal for 2024 in a comment and tag two friends in the post before January 15th. The announcement of winners is scheduled for January 16th at 12:00 on the same page.
May these innovative companions not only help us keep track of dates but also inspire a community-wide commitment to financial well-being. Let this year be a shared step towards brighter and more secure financial futures for everyone.
