In the pursuit of increased employee engagement, Alight added new features to its Worklife platform, including digital experience features, expanded integrations and tooling, and guidance capabilities.
One of the more notable enhancements impacts the company’s AI virtual assistant, Ask Lisa, which can now respond personally to more employee inquiries. Ask Lisa is now also equipped to handle annual benefits, giving employees the option to re-enroll with their current benefit program automatically.
The company hopes the release will help better engage employees by delivering a digital experience designed to connect them with their wellbeing ecosystem, said Alight Senior Vice President of Product Josh Welch.

In March, Alight reported 7.4% revenue growth in 2022, to over $3 billion dollars. Nearly a third of that came in during the year’s final quarter. The company also approved a two-year strategic transformation plan, which will include a restructuring program to accelerate development of back-to-office infrastructure and leverage technology to reduce costs.
