HR Made Easy with GoCo
Efficient Hiring and Onboarding for a High-Turnover Industry
In retail, turnover is high, and seasonal hiring demands can be intense. GoCo’s customizable hiring workflows streamline recruiting and onboarding to minimize the time and costs associated with constant hiring. Our platform simplifies the application and onboarding process with digital forms, automated tasks, and checklists, allowing you to seamlessly handle large volumes of hires—whether for the holiday season or new store openings. GoCo also helps engage new hires from day one, enhancing productivity and retention.
Flexible and Fair Scheduling
Retail employees often have varied availability due to school, family, or other job obligations. GoCo’s scheduling tools allow you to create fair, predictable, and easily viewable schedules that help you balance employees’ needs with your staffing requirements. Last-minute changes and coverage gaps are simplified with GoCo’s time-tracking features, helping you avoid unplanned overtime and ensure shifts are always covered.
Stay Ahead of Compliance in Retail Operations
Retailers must navigate complex federal, state, and local labor laws, especially with frequent updates in wage regulations, overtime rules, and employee classifications. GoCo’s compliance tools help you stay up-to-date, providing alerts for law changes and automating record-keeping for wage and hour compliance, training certifications, and employee documentation. With GoCo, you can easily track work hour limits, mandated break times, and safety training, ensuring your business meets regulatory standards and avoids costly fines.
Accurate Payroll and Wage Management
Payroll in retail is complex, often involving overtime and holiday pay. GoCo’s payroll tools streamline the process by accurately calculating wages and managing time-tracking across different roles and locations. Automated overtime tracking and holiday pay ensure you avoid errors and meet payroll deadlines. For multi-location stores or employees working varied roles, GoCo’s timekeeping and payroll integration helps simplify even the most complex wage calculations, giving you confidence that payroll is compliant and accurate.
Employee Engagement and Retention in Retail
A well-engaged retail team leads to better customer service and lower turnover. GoCo’s HR platform includes performance management and continuous feedback tools that help you keep retail employees motivated, engaged, and aligned with store goals. Regular check-ins and goal-setting features foster a positive work culture, which is essential in retail’s fast-paced environment. This engagement reduces the risk of turnover, empowering employees to provide better service and build stronger customer relationships.
Dedicated, Award-Winning Support
With GoCo, you gain more than an HR platform; you gain a dedicated support team ready to help with any questions or challenges. Our award-winning service provides personalized assistance and guidance, ensuring that you’re always supported as you scale and adapt to the evolving demands of retail.
GoCo: Your Secret Weapon for Retail Success
“GoCo offers the flexibility to bring your own broker or provide us with one if we need one. I had built a high level of trust with another broker and knew they were advocating on our behalf, and I knew I could save our employees a lot of money if I had the flexibility to choose our broker.”
Naomi Honig
Director of Human Resources at Caliper Foods
“It’s pretty unusual to have a dedicated customer service person that I can reach out to directly via email or phone. I’ve even had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of GoCo when I’ve had larger needs. That just wouldn’t happen with any other software.”
Naomi Honig
Director of Human Resources at Caliper Foods
"GoCo makes our onboarding process so much easier. It's great to have everything in one common place. We can look back on documents and reflect on compensation notes which makes the year run a lot smoother."
