Case Study: Transforming HR at a Growing Multi-Location Organization
The Challenge:
A growing childcare franchise faced increasing HR challenges as it expanded to four locations and 133 employees. Managing payroll, onboarding, and benefits across multiple sites with manual processes had become overwhelming for the Director of HR, Jenny.
The Solution:
Jenny implemented GoCo in 2020 to streamline and organize HR functions. She immediately recognized GoCo’s user-first design and seamless integration, which allowed her to manage HR processes independently. GoCo’s intuitive platform enabled employees and directors to navigate the system with ease, reducing the administrative burden on Jenny.
Key Results:
- Time Savings: Payroll processes that once took a full business day were reduced to just 30 minutes per location. Overall, Jenny saved 10-15 hours per week.
- Self-Service Tools: Employees could manage their payroll and benefits information independently, significantly reducing the number of HR inquiries.
- Enhanced Focus: With administrative tasks automated, Jenny had more time to improve policies, provide better benefits, and focus on philanthropy projects.
- Streamlined Onboarding: Directors at each location seamlessly onboarded new hires using GoCo without requiring additional training or guidance.
“Before GoCo, I was spending all my time on HR,” said Jenny. “Now, I have more time to lead, nurture, and develop the learning center. I’ve even been able to rebrand our values and lead more philanthropy projects—initiatives I wouldn’t have had the capacity to tackle before.”
