Want More Participant Engagement? An Effective Website Can Help
Websites are often overlooked by multiemployer trusts and other health and welfare funds when it comes to increasing participant engagement.
Many trusts rely on a secure site participants can log in to for communicating health and retirement benefits. While these portals are important tools for benefit administration, they often lack the mobile-friendly design and robust information participants need to learn about and make the most of their benefits.
A modern, mobile-first website can serve as a centralized hub for all benefit plan information including wellness information, forms, plan documents, contact information, and more.
A Good Website Helps Build Trust
Good websites help build recognition and trust through clear, concise language, intuitive organization of information, and accessible design. Although it might be tempting to consider a professional website a luxury and make do with a simple, outdated site, you may be sending the wrong message to participants. In fact, surveys show that 80% of users will judge an organization’s credibility based on their website’s design.*
Design Matters
A website has only a matter of seconds to grab a visitor’s attention and get them engaged before they give up and click away, so it’s worth it to make sure your website offers a good user experience.
But more important than aesthetics – your site must be mobile-friendly. Today, over 60% of website traffic comes from mobile devices*. This means that sites must be designed specifically for mobile users, allowing people to quickly and easily navigate the site and access information via their phone.
As a one-stop, trusted resource for participants, a website that is easily accessible by phone, and is kept up to date with the latest news, plan changes and materials can be an important tool to help increase participant engagement and improve participant experience.
