Navigator Strategy

Navigator Strategy is a Seattle-based business consultancy helping owners and leaders take a practical second look at payroll, HR, employee benefits, workforce administration, and business systems.

Led by founder Phil Hering, we start by understanding the business: what is working, where administrative tasks create friction, and which costs or challenges deserve closer attention. We explain relevant strategies and connect businesses with suitable specialist partners when a deeper review makes sense.

Areas we help businesses explore include payroll and HR provider options, employee healthcare and benefits, onboarding, retention, and disconnected or time-consuming processes.

We welcome businesses of all sizes, from neighborhood shops to larger organizations. Our approach is relationship-first: learn about the business, ask useful questions, and help identify a practical next step.
