Company pension
From advice and management to communication
In today’s competitive job market, an outstanding pension scheme sets you apart as an employer. While workplace pensions are a powerful employee benefit, they represent a major investment with a significant impact on your personnel costs. Moreover, structuring and managing these schemes is highly complex.
At Barbon, we understand this challenge. We act in the best interests of both you and your employees, fully compliant with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft). Through our expert advice, management and communication, you gain complete control over your pension scheme, its obligations and the associated costs, leaving you free to focus on your business goals.

Advice
Bespoke pension advice
We work on a project basis, tailoring our advisory services entirely to your specific needs. This includes structuring new pension schemes, renewing provider agreements, or strategic counsel on the Dutch Future Pensions Act (Wtp).
You can also rely on Barbon for expert support with benefit harmonisation, scheme amendments, employee consent processes, and sectoral pension fund or collective agreement (CAO) assessments. By mapping out your requirements in advance, we deliver bespoke advice that aligns perfectly with your business goals and compliance needs.
Continuity management
Efficient pension management
Barbon’s ongoing management activities throughout the term of the execution agreement strictly adhere to the statutory aftercare obligations (nazorgverplichtingen) as set forth in the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht - Wft).
Continuous Support & Scheme Oversight
As the designated intermediary for your occupational pension scheme, Barbon provides comprehensive support and continuous oversight. While the ultimate responsibility for submitting accurate employee data to the pension provider rests with your organisation, we actively assist you in streamlining this process.
To maximise administrative efficiency and minimise operational risk, we collaborate with you to explore the feasibility of establishing a direct API or data link between your payroll system and the pension provider’s administration. This integration significantly reduces manual workloads and ensures real-time data accuracy.
Quality Assurance & Regulatory Compliance
To guarantee that your pension scheme is executed flawlessly, Barbon performs rigorous, periodic file audits and data checks. Furthermore, as your proactive risk partner, we continuously monitor the landscape to keep you ahead of relevant market trends, product innovations, and shifting legislative and regulatory requirements.
Clear pension communication
Pension communication for stakeholders
To truly engage the key stakeholders within your organisation, Barbon delivers impactful group presentations for your workforce and targeted campaigns designed to boost employee participation. Additionally, we provide tailored pension briefings and training sessions for boards of directors, works councils and other key decision-makers.
