More than one-third (36%) of Spotlite Choice users described themselves as only occasional or rare Internet users, while 64% rated themselves as very web savvy, according to responses from 185 employees who reported their experience using the benefit enrollment system’s optional feedback survey. The feedback function was implemented in May.
“We’re excited by these results, which validate that employees don’t need to be savvy Internet users to use technology for benefits enrollment. The explosion in consumer-driven benefits is causing employers to find more efficient and engaging enrollment processes. This should be encouraging news for employers exploring a self-service benefits enrollment solution,” said Spotlite CEO Chris Hill.
Whatever their level of Internet usage, feedback from Spotlite Choice users was overwhelmingly positive about their experience, understanding of their employers’ benefit packages, confidence in their elections and awareness of financial implications:
• Ease of use: 92% of users rated the ease of their experience as either “great” or “good”
• Confidence in their elections: 91% stated that they have a “great” or “good” understanding of their elections
• Awareness of financial implications: 90% graded their understanding of the financial implications of their elections as either “great” or “good”
• Understanding of benefit packages: 85% rated their understanding of their benefit packages as either “great” or “good”
“These results demonstrate that self-service is effective in increasing satisfaction with and understanding of benefits options. They also show what’s required of a technology solution to achieve self-service enrollment success. Ridding the world of bad benefits experiences is our mission; we think technologies that enable an eCommerce self-service experience have the potential to do just that,” said Hill.
