ORS Employer Reporting: Focus groups & testing

The Michigan Office of Retirement Services needs your input! Ideas we will gather through focus groups will ensure ORS has the knowledge and insight to be able learn how employers use our products and systems and then, how to best communicate to those people who are first learning.

We are looking for volunteers for three different focus groups over the course of this summer:

  • 457 Plan Expansion: June 29, 2021: We are expanding availability for employee participation in the 457 Plan, also known as the deferred compensation option for all employees in the defined benefit plan with premium subsidy healthcare. 
  • RIM Redesign: July 26 – Aug. 20, 2021: We are unveiling our newly revised Reporting Instruction manual and would like to know what you think.
  • miLogin for the Employer Reporting website: Aug. 3 – 20, 2021: We are in the process of implementing a new login system for the Employer Reporting site and would like to observe what customers encounter and questions they may have when using it.
If you’re interested in participating in any of the upcoming focus groups, click register here and mark your calendar. Look for an email with further instructions to come about 2 weeks before the start-date listed.
