Special Individual Pension Plan for Single Mothers from HDI Fibaemeklilik
Continuing to add value to society through social responsibility projects while securing individuals’ futures, HDI Fibaemeklilik has broken new ground in Turkey by developing a special plan for single mothers in cooperation with the Single Mothers Association. The plan stands out as an innovative employee benefit solution that can be offered to companies particularly in line with employee engagement and social equality goals.
The plan, launched by the company together with the Single Mothers Association, which works to defend the rights of single mothers in Turkey, empower them and raise awareness in society, was designed both as a corporate benefit and as a reliable financial solution enabling single mothers to save for their own future and their children’s tomorrow. With this aspect, it provides measurable employee support aligned with corporate social responsibility while creating social value. In the BES plan specially developed by HDI Fibaemeklilik, no deductions are applied and every contribution paid by participants is fully reflected in their savings.
Security for Mothers’ Future, Hope for Children’s Tomorrow
The “Single Mothers BES Plan” developed by HDI Fibaemeklilik offers participants financial freedom with flexible contribution payments and the advantage of state contribution while also strengthening social solidarity. In this context, the plan includes no deductions such as entrance fees, exit fees or management expense deductions. HDI Fibaemeklilik also aims to contribute to the Single Mothers Association by donating part of the project’s revenue. Single mothers and all their children without age limits can join the “Single Mothers BES Plan.” Existing HDI Fibaemeklilik BES customers can also join by starting a new contract. Additionally, participants receive a digital “Certificate of Appreciation” from the Single Mothers Association.
The “Single Mothers BES Plan” can also be customized for companies that want to support single mothers within their workforce.
“Empowering Women’s Financial Independence is Our Priority”
Erhan İleri, Deputy General Manager of HDI Fibaemeklilik, stated that the project was inspired by Fiba Group’s “#RemovetheBurden” initiative, which aims to draw attention to the concepts of caregiving labor and mental load mostly carried by women. He said:
“As HDI Fibaemeklilik, we work with the goal of making financial security accessible to everyone and develop products tailored to needs and target audiences. Within the scope of the #RemovetheBurden project, we recognized that the need for financial planning and security increases even more for single mothers who have to carry both work and private life responsibilities alone. In response to this need, we support them in looking to the future with confidence through our specially designed BES solutions. This special plan, which will secure the future of single mothers and their children, is a product of strong solidarity both economically and socially. By saying ‘Strong Mothers, Secure Futures,’ we believe that this step taken together with the Single Mothers Association will make a significant difference on the path toward social equality.”
Serap Yelkenci, President of the Single Mothers Association, shared the following in her evaluation of the project:
“Single mothers are women who shoulder the burdens of life while also providing hope for their children’s future. This project holds great significance for us as a step that provides financial security and strengthens the culture of solidarity. Together with HDI Fibaemeklilik, we have developed the first-ever BES plan specially designed for single mothers in Turkey. This plan is not only for single mothers who want to participate individually but also a corporate benefit that can be offered to single mothers working within institutions. As the Single Mothers Association, we will continue our efforts to ensure that companies include single mothers in their employee engagement policies, increase their visibility and secure their financial futures.”
