Survey Identifies Key Employee Preferences

 A recent survey revealed that ease of use, quick loan approval and availability of funds, and simple online tools landed at the top of the list.

In an effort to improve overall customer experience and satisfaction, FinFit LLC, a provider of employee financial wellness programs, surveyed employees of companies enrolled in its program, inquiring about which aspects were most important.

  2. Timely Loan Approval and Swift Availability of Funds: Without having to provide information regarding credit history, employees found loan approval and the ability to obtain the funds quickly, in some instances within 24 hours, to be vital.
  3. Stress-Free Navigation of Budgeting and Financial Education Tools: Users rated website organization and ease of finding desired applications as very important to a financial wellness program. Even those who were not in need of financial assistance were apt to take advantage of the educational tools, budget calculators, and financial planning offerings because of the straightforward, easy-to-use online layout.
