Nasfund, Pacific Industries run shopfloor presentations

THE National Superannuation Fund (Nasfund) has collaborated with Pacific Industries Limited (PI) to deliver shopfloor presentations to over 550 employees nationwide.
The presentations were delivered through close collaboration between Nasfund’s regional team leaders at the branches and PI’s 15 centres throughout the country.
This initiative was driven by a shared commitment to enhancing employee well-being and financial awareness.
Nasfund chief executive officer Rajeev Sharma explained that the series of shopfloor presentations delivered by the fund’s marketing team was designed to provide PI employees with valuable insight into financial planning, retirement readiness, and the importance of long-term savings.
He said Nasfund was excited to work closely with PI throughout August to extend their mission of securing the financial future of more Papua New Guineans.
“Using our extensive branch network, our teams in Rabaul, Kimbe, Kavieng, Madang, Goroka, and Hagen have collaborated with representatives of PI in the outside centres to deliver presentations on superannuation and financial awareness to their staff,” Sharma said.
He added that the marketing team took two weeks to visit each division of PI to deliver the presentations, resulting in a total of more than 550 employees in both Port Moresby and the 15 PIL centres undergoing the sessions.
Sharma added that the fund was pleased with the outcome of the collaboration, adding that it aligned with Nasfund’s core values with the objective of empowering members with the necessary knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions for the long term.
Meanwhile, PI human resources manager Andrew Topo expressed satisfaction with the outcome of shopfloor presentations.
Topo said the company had always put its employees at the heart of its success.
“This collaboration with Nasfund underscores our commitment to their holistic financial well-being,” he said.
“By offering them access to expert financial guidance, we aim to educate and empower our employees to make informed decisions so they can change their mindset from a borrowing culture to a savings culture.”
