Onboarding

Frictionless Hiring & Onboarding for High-Turnover Roles

Franchise businesses need to hire quickly and efficiently. GoCo’s Hiring & Onboarding tools help streamline the process with customizable offer letters, automated workflows, mobile-friendly digital forms, and eSignatures—so new employees can complete paperwork before day one. Plus, GoCo’s applicant tracking system (ATS) integration makes it easy to recruit top talent across all locations.

Time Tracking

Payroll & Time Tracking Across Multiple Locations

Managing payroll and time tracking across multiple franchise locations is complex, but GoCo simplifies it with automated time tracking, geofencing, and seamless payroll. Employees can clock in and out from their mobile devices, while managers can monitor labor costs, ensure accurate payroll processing, and reduce compliance risks. GoCo’s time tracking and scheduling tools help streamline labor management, minimize overtime costs, and ensure the right employees are in the right place at the right time—without manual spreadsheets or disjointed systems.

Document Management

Multi-State Compliance & Labor Law Management

Franchises often operate in different states with varying labor laws. GoCo’s Compliance Management tools help track employment regulations, manage tax filings, monitor certifications, and send automated alerts for expiring licenses—keeping franchise owners and managers compliant across locations.

Employee Engagement

Reduce Turnover & Improve Retention

High employee turnover is common in franchises, but GoCo’s Performance Management helps keep teams engaged with goal tracking, automated performance reviews, real-time feedback, and recognition tools. By fostering a culture of growth and appreciation, franchise businesses can improve employee retention and productivity.

Benefits Administration

Offering competitive benefits is a major advantage for franchise businesses. GoCo’s Benefits Administration platform makes it easy to manage health insurance, 401(k) plans, and compliance—all from one centralized dashboard. Employees can self-enroll, update benefits, and access coverage details anytime, reducing HR’s administrative burden.

Automated Workflows

Workflows to Standardize HR Processes Across Locations

Franchises need both standardization and flexibility. GoCo’s HR Workflows allow franchise owners to create custom automated processes for onboarding, payroll approvals, compliance tracking, and more—ensuring consistency across locations while allowing local managers to make adjustments as needed.
