Benefit Software Inc. a leading Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of online employee benefits administration, employee self-service enrollment, and benefits communication solutions, today announces that 95 percent of clients surveyed over a three-year period were very satisfied with their outsourced printed Benefit or Total Compensation Statements. Clients gave exceptionally high marks for project management, level of service, production quality, and on-time delivery of the finished product.

Benefit Software Inc. produces Total Compensation, Total Rewards, and Benefit Statements for more than 200 organizations employing more than 150,000 employees. The annual survey, which was conducted in 2008, 2009, and 2010, asked clients to rate key aspects in the completion of their Statement projects. The aggregate results revealed the following:

* 96 percent reported that they were kept well informed during the project
* 9 out of 10 clients reported that they received timely and accurate drafts of the statements
* 99 percent reported being pleased with the look of their statements
* 9 out of 10 clients agreed that the printed statements were completed within a manageable and reasonable timeline
* 9 out of 10 clients said that the statements were delivered on time and packaged as requested
* 97 percent reported that the project manager was responsive and knowledgeable

"Conceptually, most employers understand the correlation between Total Rewards communications that incorporate personalized employee compensation and benefit facts and the impact this information has on increasing employee satisfaction, performance, and loyalty. However, as demonstrated by our survey results, effective communication is in the details--the level of customer service and precision that attends all phases of the process, from design to delivery," says William Smith, Vice President of Sales at Benefit Software Inc. "We are pleased that our clients have validated our market-driven, customer-centric approach. Customer feedback is--and has always been--invaluable as we continually refine and streamline all facets leading to delivery of an exceptional product. Our ongoing commitment is to deliver high-quality Statements that clearly and effectively communicate critical compensation and benefits information, increasing employee loyalty and retention and, as a result, improving organizational performance."
