Pros: THE PROS OF EMPLOYEE NAVIGATOR IT IS EASY TO USE AND IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM TO SEND A LINK AND FILL OUT OPEN ENROLLMENT FORMS.

Cons: There is really nothing negative to say about this product, staff, and management enjoy the ease and flexibility.

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.

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.

Pros: How easy it was to integrate into our payroll system. Made everything effortless. Also the SSO is a great feature

Cons: Sometimes the syncs can be a little off, but they’re able to be corrected very fast, so it’s not a huge issue

Pros: I love that it feeds to and from other applications for benefits, which makes processes SO much easier.

Cons: I really have not come accross any issues with Employee Navigator. Both admins and users find it extremely easy to use.

Pros: Employee Navigator is a great system to track employee benefits. It connects directly to our payroll system and always has up-to-date, accurate information. It is easy for both the employees and the employer to use during open enrollment. All the benefits documents are easy to find and running enrollment reports are super easy.

Cons: The only problem I have is that I wish there were more report options, like some to show employer vs employee cost of covereage.

Pros: The ability to have information available to me in a relatively simplistic format. Nothing overly complex with navigating, not too many parent/child folders and tabs to bounce to and from

Cons: That it’s segregated from payroll. And when I think about benefits on whole, I’d like to see a better conductor with things like Paylocity to be able to look at things more holistically.

Pros: I enjoy that Employee Navigator can be integrated with payroll systems, allowing for seamless movement of payroll data.

Cons: There are limits on what you can do as a user. An example is reminders, when conducting open enrollment, I had to schedule the reminders to go out. The latest reminder was 2 days before enrollment closed. I would like the ability to send out at any time.

Pros: It is a good tool for open enrollment and to view employee benefits eligibility dates and enrollments.

Cons: At times, information does not flow over correctly or things are not setup to our company specifications. We rely on our third party benefits administrator to setup open enrollments and benefit costs in Employee Navigator. At times, rates are not correct in Employee Navigator so the wrong deduction amounts are taken from employee paychecks.

Pros: The website is easy to navigate, and you do not have to worry about paper. all your elections are in one spot

Cons: I do not see any cons at this point when using employee navigator. It works very well. Employees have no issue logging on

Pros: There are so many wonderful things about Employee Navigator, I don't even know where to begin! It integrates seamlessly with our payroll software and keeps up with all of our employee benefit changes, even the smallest changes, such as a premium change due to a salary change. It allows us to roll out our new plans during Open Enrollment and helps us track compliance. It's also at a price point that makes it worth every penny!

Cons: There aren't many things I don't like about Employee Navigator, it is easy to use and nearly foolproof. It has yet to let me down.

Pros: Ease of integration with our HRIS and Payroll System. Very customizable and user friendly. Our employees find it easy to enroll and or change their benefits directly in Employee Navigator!

Cons: I would like to see more canned report options. I find I'm often writing ad-hoc reports. The reports they have are good, but they are limited.

Pros: Online enrollment is the best, it's such a game changer to move away from paper and have most the systems sync up.

Cons: There is no way to include 401k enrollment/feed. This would be especially helpful at open enrollment.

Pros: Its super simple and user friendly. Literally walks you through every step of the way. It flows nicely with Paylocity so everything is consistent.

Cons: I wish the custom reporting was a little more user friendly. Other than that I have no complaints about it.

Pros: Employee Navigator makes our benefit process very easy. From new hire enrollments to open enrollment, it has cut out the leg work and made it so easy for these things to be completed on both the employee and employer end. It is integrated with our HRIS system, Paylocity, so it receives updates on things like name/address changes, new hires, and terminations and applies them in real time. It has automated a lot of the process that we used to do manually so it has also saved our company time and money!

Cons: The reporting functioning can be really hard to navigate if you don't know some of the terms that are being used for report names, or where to find specific reports.

Pros: The application is extremely user friendly and really simplifies getting employees enrolled in benefits. This application also helps ensure that we are maintaining compliance with changes and required notices. The customer support has been amazing as well, I have never had to wait more than a few hours to get an issue resolved. The application connects the benefits deductions directly to our HRIS software eliminating the need for manual entries. It is a great tool for the busy HR professional.

Cons: There really are no cons, we do have divisions that we have to enter which can be a pain but that is organization specific and not anything that Employee Navigator has required!
