Institutional Survey Report – Plan Sponsor Websites: Perception and Engagement
This Institutional Report summarizes and analyzes data from our 2019 DC Plan Sponsor Survey. Overall, sponsors’ satisfaction with websites is relatively high, but room for improvement remains in certain categories.
Success story
A large recordkeeper was interested in making upgrades to its sponsor site alerts/notifications system and contacted CI’s Retirement Plan Research Services team for assistance. We set up a meeting to review a recent Retirement Plan Monitor – Institutional report that we wrote on the subject, which took a deep dive into the ways that an effective suite of alerts can enhance the plan sponsor digital experience. The client was particularly interested in how the use of icons and other attention-grabbing features can help sponsors prioritize and identify which alerts require immediate action. We were able to show the recordkeeper which competitors in our coverage group offer the strongest alerts systems and direct them to detailed experience profiles within the report for screenshots.
