For specific products and services, Transamerica outperformed the benchmark in every area of measure, including "employee education," "investment options and performance," and "processing of employee transactions," among many more.

By identifying the most important drivers of client satisfaction, Transamerica uses these findings to help provide the best possible retirement planning solutions for its clients.
Quantitative questions were rated on a 7-point scale in which "6" and "7" represent the highest levels of satisfaction. A "best-in-class" rating was received when at least 85% of the respondents selected a "6" or "7" for a specific area.
