Problem Statement

Employees receive a limited-time enrollment invitation to apply for voluntary life insurance. Many applicants have little prior experience purchasing insurance, may want to include a spouse, and may abandon the process due to competing priorities. The enrollment experience should help users confidently complete their application while supporting seamless continuation across devices.

What did you assume about this user’s insurance literacy, and how did that shape your decisions?

Many users almost, 80% of the customers are not technically fintech literate. Mostly they know the basic terms. Also most of them do not have patients to go though all terms and condition of the service.

So my approach is to remove all buzz and technical words, reorganize the data into simple relatable format, more visual explanation, simple navigation.

Where did you reduce steps or complexity, and what risk does that introduce?

I simplified the process by turning long insurance forms into a guided flow with simple questions and clear coverage options. Users only see information relevant to the current step.

The risk is that some users may miss important policy details, so I included short explanations and a final review screen before submission.

How did you handle the re-entry problem, and why that approach over alternatives?

I used automatic progress saving so users can leave and return anytime without losing their application. The progress bar also helps them understand where they are in the process.

I chose this over a manual “Save Draft” option because it requires less effort and reduces the chance of users dropping off.

What is the one decision in your design you are least confident about, and how would you validate it?

I’m least confident about the recommended coverage amounts based on salary. While it makes decisions easier, some users may want more control.

To validate it, I would run usability tests and compare completion rates, user confidence, and drop-off rates against other coverage selection approaches.
