  • Open Enrollment: The employee or HR can complete the annual open enrollment online for benefits
  • History Tracking:  Complete historical record of all transactions with data/time/user ID stamp for audit and tracking purposes.
  • HR “Wall”:  Social Media Wall allowing HR to set custom notifications and tasks. The Wall maintains a history of all outstanding and completed checklist items, including notes.
  • Employer Training: Employee Navigator completes remote HR training to ensure a thorough understanding of the system. You can also have ongoing training for new HR staff members by your dedicated account analysts when needed.
