Agriculture cooperatives help Americans thrive with a consistent stream of fresh fruits and vegetables. But what happens when outdated HR systems stunt these companies’ growth, leaving employees frustrated and HR stressed?
Issues like those spoiled a Wisconsin-based co-op’s HR processes, withering efficiency in:
- payroll
- onboarding
- time and attendance
- HR data management
- and more
The company faced an operational drought as it moved to open up more locations and raise its head count. Something as simple as time-off requests entailed endless paperwork, time-consuming approvals and fingers crossed everything was entered accurately.
Luckily, much-needed relief was on its way.
How does the right HR tech help boost efficiency?
The co-op switched to Paycom after a painful implementation with its past provider. Paycom’s easy-to-use reporting and timekeeping software brought immediate relief.
The co-op’s HR pros pulled themselves from the weeds of manual data entry. Instead, they were able to focus on:
- recruitment
- compliance
- training
- employee well-being
- alignment with the organization’s mission
With Paycom’s single software up and running, all of the co-op’s HR processes existed in a state of simple synchronicity. Its HR pros didn’t have to struggle to extract data or lose hours every week fixing timecard irregularities. Instead, they could invest their efforts in what matters — like their upcoming harvest.
Why is Paycom ideal for businesses of all sizes?
From government and compliance to benefits administration software, Paycom helped the co-op scale with confidence. After the reports were set up, administrators could readily analyze trends and pivot toward the future.
And because data flowed seamlessly from one tool to the next — including into reports — the company could readily respond to audits and other inspections. Plus, its fresh crop of new hires could hit the fields faster than ever before since Paycom’s onboarding tech empowered them to complete important tasks before their first day.
As the co-op grows, these advantages multiply and prime their people for bountiful careers.
