Jakarta – Serikat Pekerja Pertamina Seluruh Indonesia Jakarta (SPPSI Jakarta) inaugurated its new board for the 2024–2027 period at the Ballroom of Graha Pertamina on Tuesday (January 7, 2025). The event also served as a moment to introduce the new leadership and strengthen ties between SPPSI Jakarta’s board and Pertamina’s management.
Several prominent figures attended the event, including the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia, Yassierli; Independent Commissioner of Pertamina, Condro Kirono; President Director of Pertamina, Simon Aloysius Mantiri; as well as members of the Board of Directors from the Holding, Subholding, and Subsidiaries of Pertamina. Also present were the President of the Federasi Serikat Pekerja Pertamina Bersatu (FSPPB), Arie Gumilar, chairpersons of FSPPB constituent unions, and members of SPPSI Jakarta.
As part of the Federasi Serikat Pekerja Pertamina Bersatu (FSPPB), SPPSI Jakarta is not only responsible for advocating workers’ welfare but also plays an active role in supporting the sustainability of Pertamina’s business to create positive impacts for society, the nation, and the state.
The event was also enlivened by a Labor Talkshow Session, with the Minister of Manpower as the keynote speaker. The session featured speakers from various institutions, including the Director of Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution at the Ministry of Manpower, Agatha Widianawati; DPLK PertaLife Executive, Deny Kurniawan; and legal consultant as well as lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Willy Farianto.
During the session, Deny Kurniawan explained the importance of financial management for employees, particularly in preparing for retirement. According to Deny, retirement is a phase that every worker will inevitably face, and it is the stage when regular income comes to an end. Therefore, prudent financial management from an early stage is essential to ensure a secure and comfortable retirement.
“Ideally, retirement income should reach 70%–80% of the final salary. Pertamina employees should prepare their retirement funds through three important stages: Financial Planning, Financial Security through cash flow management and emergency funds, and Financial Comfort through retirement fund preparation and investments. Lastly, wealth distribution through inheritance for heirs,” explained Deny Kurniawan.
Deny also reminded employees not to delay investing, as postponement only eliminates irreplaceable opportunities over time. The accumulation of investment funds is like a snowball—the larger the accumulation, the greater the potential returns.
On this occasion, Deny also explained the Defined Contribution Pension Program (PPIP) product, which provides retirement savings for Pertamina employees through regular monthly contributions from both the company and employees, as well as voluntary additional contributions. One of the advantages of DPLK PertaLife compared to other providers is the ease of access for employees to monitor their DPLK balance daily through the SiPerdana mobile application. The application also provides information about management fees, which are relatively lower compared to other DPLK providers.
In addition, DPLK PertaLife provides top-up payment services through Virtual Accounts at Bank Mandiri and Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), as well as investment oversight conducted through Pertamina’s Investment Committee. DPLK PertaLife also facilitates the process of transferring DPLK accounts from other providers to DPLK PertaLife.
Through this socialization event, it is hoped that Pertamina employees will gain a better understanding of the importance of financial preparation for retirement and take advantage of the various programs offered by DPLK PertaLife to achieve a prosperous retirement. PLI.
