The Participant Assistance Program Customer Survey collects customer satisfaction data for a sample of private citizens who call into the participant assistance program to ask about their private sector employer provided benefits such as pensions, retirement savings, and health benefits. Three types of callers are queried: 1 Those who need benefit claim assistance; 2 those who have a valid benefit claim; and 3
those who have an invalid benefit claim.
The results of the survey are analyzed to provide actionable data that could be used to improve program performance.
Examples of improved performance that may result from that study include, but are not limited to:
Being more attuned to inquirers needsBenefits Advisors should be more adept at identifying issues that lead to benefits recoveries and enforcement leads Survey data will enable National and Regional management to identify potential training needs Satisfaction scores will guide EBSA
leadership to determine which Regions need assistance improving customer service Scores on individual BAs will reveal high performers and allow the agency to use those BAs techniques as best practices for program-wide improvement.
The study will include survey data from regional offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco and District offices in Miami, Seattle and Washington.
