Hear what West Brom Building Society & Clean for Good had to say about the difference it's made to them 👇
![“We were driven to pursue the Living Pension to increase security in retirement, enhance the value we give our colleagues, and to lead by example. It is often easy to focus on the here and now, but we also want our colleagues to feel confident about their future. Making sure our pension contributions are enough to support a decent retirement is the most pragmatic way to provide that confidence to our colleagues." Susith Jayamanne, Reward & Data Analysis Specialist West Brom Building Society. Living Pension employer / The Living Pension has made a difference because: “I feel like we're just worried about the present moment. But savings are not for the present. You need to think about your future because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. So if I can be saving now, I will do it, because it's safe for me to think about my tomorrow and my kids tomorrow. [The Living Pension] will have a good effect on my future – giving me the opportunity of a good retirement where I won’t need to be working anymore and still have a good life." Andressa, Cleaning Supervisor, Clean for Good.
