Employee benefits come with mountains of paperwork, and it’s essential that you keep track of every little change and update for each employee. Rather than maintaining extensive filing cabinets that fill your office, why not switch to a digital platform that simplifies benefits management? That’s where Employee Navigator comes in.
Employee Navigator is an online benefits platform that centralizes all the information you and your employees need to monitor benefits, including viewing plans, contributions, and coverage details. It’s the best way to streamline all small business insurance and benefits information into a single, easily accessible hub. Here are some of the benefits you can expect by using Employee Navigator.
Promotes Employee Experience and Accessibility
As a broker or HR professional, you’re typically well-versed in anything and everything benefits. However, employees might not have the same knowledge. They have other things to focus on.
With Employee Navigator, it’s much easier for employees to understand their benefits, creating a better workplace experience. They can easily access the platform using a secure login to review plan documents across multiple insurance companies, make plan changes, and update elections, all from their computer or smartphone. This greatly improves transparency and understanding of benefits selections, helping employees make the best decisions for themselves and their families.
Simplifies Qualifying Life Events and Plan Changes
Qualifying life events (QLEs) can throw a wrench into employee management process. They often pop up unexpectedly and require a lot of manual paperwork — which provides opportunity for errors.
When you use Employee Navigator, employees can submit qualifying life events such as marriage, birth, or loss of coverage right in the platform — no manual paperwork required. The centralized dashboard improves organization and compliance tracking, reducing administrative burden and improves efficiency and accuracy.
Benefits for HR and Plan Administrators
Employee Navigator isn’t just for employees; HR and plan administrators can also enjoy helpful features to automatically track elections and payroll deductions in real time. This eliminates the need for physical paperwork and data entry, not only reducing headaches and effort but also improving compliance tracking and accuracy.
And when you hire a new employee or the end of the year rolls around, you can also streamline onboarding and open-enrollment process, saving tons of time and paperwork.
Carrier Integration
For brokers, Employee Navigator can easily facilitate virtual open enrollment, meaning no manual paperwork and complete transparency. Seamless connectivity between the platform and insurance companies means you can send enrollment changes directly to the carrier, improving accuracy and turnaround time for policy updates.
Strong carrier integration is a huge benefit of Employee Navigator over other employee benefit management platforms like Ease and Rippling.
Make the Most of Employee Navigator
Employee Navigator is a powerful platform to simplify employee benefits management, maximize transparency, eliminate manual paperwork, and reduce inaccuracies. But you can only get the most out of the platform if you have the right small business insurance coverage.
