There is a large gap between employee goals and how they comprehend their benefit plans, finds a new survey by the ADP Research Institute, a provider of human resources management, payroll and benefits administration services.

"With the power of Web-based and mobile technologies and decision support tools, we have new, innovative and cost-effective ways of educating employees and helping them make critical choices anytime and anywhere."
