In October 2022, PEPP conducted a member survey to collect feedback on services provided to members. A random selection of members were invited to complete the survey, and we received 1,390 responses.

Survey Results

We’re pleased to report that 91% of members said they were satisfied with the level of customer service PEPP provides.

Plan Administration

The 2022 results showed 81% of members are satisfied with PEPP’s plan administration, which is a downtrend from 2021. We recognize that 2022 was a difficult financial year worldwide, and understand members are concerned about their portfolios. Markets are now trending upward, and we encourage members to actively monitor their fund performances through the PEPP website.

Digital Enhancements

More than half of Members (53%) who recently visited the PEPP website said it had improved in the last year. We rolled out an updated website (February 2022), and are pleased to see Members have noticed improvements to its design and user friendliness.

76% of surveyed members said they were interested in accessing digitalized PEPP services, and 55% were interested in paperless statements and newsletters. We’re excited to hear this, as PEPP continues to encourage members to go digital to lower our environment impact and save costs.
