WINNIPEG, June 12, 2013 /CNW/ - With retirement savings increasingly top of mind for many Canadians, the need for convenient access to clear, concise information is more important than ever. In response, Great-West Life has redesigned the public-facing sign-in pages on GRS Access, the company's secure, transactional website, to enhance the online experience for all users.
"We've learned that while many plan members are interested in their retirement, some may become overwhelmed by the decisions they need to make, which can lead to procrastination and inaction," says Jeff Aarssen, Vice-President of Group Retirement Services Sales & Marketing for Great-West Life. "We've implemented new public features as part of our ongoing commitment to help simplify the retirement planning process for members. Our goal is to elevate the online experience so members will be more encouraged to use the wealth of online tools and resources available to help them plan and achieve retirement savings success."
Updates to public-facing GRS Access sign-in pages include:
Registered users can still sign in with the same Access ID and password, and as always, can personalize the home page to display the information most important to them. This feature helps to increase member engagement, which in turn can help encourage members to set, monitor and achieve their retirement and savings goals.
