Rooted in POPI's dedication to employee well-being, the scheme aims to bridge the gap between government and non-governmental employees by providing equitable access to pension benefits.
Expanding Employee Safeguards:
The Town Hall also marked the introduction of POPI's SPAR (Social Portfolio at Risk) initiative. This program reinforces POPI's steadfast commitment to fostering a safe and supportive work environment for both employees and stakeholders. As part of its comprehensive Safeguarding Policy, POPI pledges to protect employees from harm while empowering them to make informed decisions and retain control over their professional lives. The policy outlines clear principles, definitions, roles, and support mechanisms to address safeguarding concerns within the organization.

The inauguration ceremony was further enriched by the esteemed presence of Sheikh Mohammad Salim Ullah, Secretary of FID, Ministry of Finance. Mr. Ullah emphasized the significance of the Universal Pension Scheme in building a secure future for employees, highlighting its critical role in shaping a brighter tomorrow for Bangladesh. Kabirul Ezdani Khan, Executive Chairman of the National Pension Scheme, echoed this sentiment, underscoring the transformative potential of this initiative in creating a robust social safety net and providing invaluable financial security for the nation's growing elderly population.
