  • How does GoCo benefit them?

    GoCo's modern HRIS benefits HR managers and business owners in a wide range of industries. The platform benefits SMBs through:
    - Syncing with any payroll provider. SMB teams don't have to decide between leaving the payroll they're already invested in, and getting the most out of a consolidated HR platform.
    - Working with any benefits broker. GoCo can set up benefits with any broker partner so SMBs don't have to choose between their trusted advisors and adopting HR tech.
    - Remote employee onboarding. GoCo's features are flexible so that SMBs can ditch the paperwork and automate hiring & onboarding workflows. From completely digital document signing to setting onboarding tasks, HR managers of SMBs can easily create a great experience for new hires.
    - Tracking and managing COVID-19 paid leave. In the wake of COVID-19, GoCo released a new emergency paid-leave tracking feature to help SMBs stay in compliance with FFCRA. Time-off requests are extremely easy to manage in the platform!
