Simplifying employer onboarding and self-service for state-facilitated retirement programs.

State-facilitated retirement programs serve employers with widely different levels of digital confidence, staffing, and regulatory knowledge. Existing registration and onboarding generated avoidable support calls and made it harder for employers to complete enrollment. The experience needed to simplify language, improve self-service, and scale as additional states and large employer cohorts came online.
Etelligens combined stakeholder workshops, call-center research, employer interviews, user testing, experience design, and digital product delivery. The redesigned journey introduced a clearer dashboard, simplified registration, contextual help, tooltips, and more accessible guidance around complex payroll and program concepts. Development-ready patterns were designed for reuse across multiple state programs, with A/B testing and feedback used to remove friction before launch.
Strategy, experience, engineering, data, and operations were planned around the same business outcome rather than delivered as disconnected workstreams.
The redesigned employer portal contributed to a 24% increase in employer enrollment and a 600% surge in same-day enrollment completion. Reduced support demand was associated with approximately $1 million in annual operating-cost savings, while the platform created a more scalable way to expand access to retirement savings programs.
