Employee Navigator

Employee Navigator Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Employee Navigator supports small businesses managing benefits, ACA compliance, and onboarding with lean HR teams. It stands out for its online benefits enrollment and payroll integration. However, reporting tools are limited. Recent updates include fillable enrollment forms and broker dashboards.

### Our verdict

Employee Navigator is a practical choice for small businesses managing benefits and compliance with limited HR resources. Its enrollment tools and carrier integrations help reduce admin work. However, buyers may face limitations in reporting and advanced features unless they choose higher-tier plans.

## Employee Navigator's interface

Employee Navigator’s interface is structured for clarity. Users say it’s easy to locate benefits, PTO, and reporting tools. However, navigating reporting options or finding specific data can be confusing.

You’ll find the dashboard easy to navigate for everyday tasks like benefits enrollment and PTO tracking, but expect some trial and error when pulling reports. Users often mention too many options without clear labels, which can slow down workflows.

The overall experience with Employee Navigator has been pretty seamless! Client Service is great, the website is easy to navigate and learn, and I feel comfortable asking questions if I have any.

Pros

As a new user, Employee Navigator has been very easy to learn and easy to navigate. I had training with an account manager before being able to use, which was very helpful! I appreciate that it's not as clunky as other platforms.

Cons

At this time, I haven't experienced any issues with Employee Navigator. My only real feedback is that I wish there were more automated message or email templates that could be sent directly from Employee Navigator pertaining to new employee benefit reminders.

Overall since switching to this platform 2 years ago I have had a great experience. It syncs with Paylocity and has had no issues.

Pros

I like that it is very user friendly and fast to update changes. The system will sync and update usually within a day to reflect changes.

Cons

There have been times where I will update directly in Employee Navigator but the changes will not occur if you do not make them in CRM first.

Overall, very good. We even integrated Employee Navigator with Paylocity, which was super simple on both sides, and has served us well.

Pros

Employee Navigator is easy to use and I like how the homepage is laid out. It is especially helpful to see HR tasks listed right on the home screen, so it catches my attention when I log in.

Cons

We use Employee Navigator through American Health and Wellness, so I don't receive notifications directly; instead, they go to our benefits specialist at AHW. I would love to see a way for both myself and AHW to receive email notification regarding tasks/updates, etc.

Overall I enjoy using it, I wish that it pulled more information over like phone numbers or employment status.

Pros

It’s relatively easy to use and it easily inter-grates with most HRIS systems which is helpful for HR professionals.

Cons

I do not like that the feed isn’t always the best from one system to another. It sometimes doesn’t pull all the information.
