PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 22, 2012--
Standard Retirement Services, Inc. ("The Standard") is launching two
enhanced retirement plan websites to provide advisors, employers and
participants with a more informative and intuitive online experience.
The two websites are: PlanNet®, a retirement plan management resource
for advisors and employers, and Personal Savings Center, a financial
savings and management tool for participants.
These online tools have been upgraded based on direct user feedback.
PlanNet enhancements include improved navigation for quicker access to
popular plan management tools, along with more prominent displays of key
plan information, such as plan investment balances and participant
activity. Similar enhancements have been made to Personal Savings
Center, providing easier access to investment management tools and more
prominent displays of key account information, such as current balance,
investment return, contribution history and loan activity.
In addition, both websites have increased their use of graphics to help
deliver key data and educational information in a more compelling and
easier-to-understand format.
“These upgrades are a direct result of our strong collaboration with
plan advisors and their clients,” said Harley Spring, vice president of
Plan Services. “As a result of their feedback, our customers’ online
experiences are now more intuitive and streamlined, making it easier to
quickly access the most important information.”
The Standard also recently enhanced its participant statements and
enrollment communication materials. “Our high commitment to service has
led to our ongoing and significant investments in the tools and
resources necessary to help employees reach retirement readiness,”
Spring added. “We continually listen to advisors and employers to make
sure we are delivering on our promises and adding long-term value to our
partnerships.”
