GoCo Helps Power Educational Institutions
“Being able to offload some HR tasks to others has been a huge helper. I still get goosebumps every time I run payroll, and it only takes me 30 minutes per school instead of an entire business day. I have more time to do the things I enjoy and not hide behind paperwork the whole time.”
Jenny Vallejo
Director of HR at Primrose School of Bee Cave
“Before GoCo, I was spending all of my time on HR. I would have to reset payroll logins 8-10 times per week because someone would get locked out. Now, it’s all self-service. Payroll used to take me an entire business day. Now, it takes just 30 minutes per location. Overall, I save about 10-15 hours per week, which allows me to be more present within the school.”
