Goodwill helps individuals overcome challenges to work while helping employers meet their workforce needs. Goodwill funds a wide array of job training and support services through donations and sales of used goods, contract services, and philanthropic contributions.
Challenges
Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia (GCCV) strives to empower individuals, strengthen families, and build prosperous communities by providing pathways to employment both in the community as well as within its own retail operations and contract services. With workforce data scattered across multiple applications and manual human capital management (HCM) processes, GCCV had limited visibility into accurate workforce data. Also, HR, payroll, and finance staff couldn’t access the system at the same time. Tracking time off on cards created problems when managers forgot to input approved requests. Completing performance and compensation reviews on spreadsheets was complex and difficult.
What Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia needed was a solution that could:
• Deliver a unified platform with a single database and record of associates across all functionality
• Provide a complete HRIS solution that can handle a wide range of human capital management needs, from payroll and HR to timekeeping and scheduling
• Offer a mobile solution to enable associates working off-site contract positions to punch in and out and submit time-off requests remotely
• Track and report on labor tied to specific projects and grant-funded work
• Automate performance and compensation management to ensure timely evaluations are completed and complex compensation rules are followed

Results
Retail store and off-site associates feel more engaged now that they can punch in and out at a terminal or on a mobile device and use self-service tools to see their schedules, view accrual balances, request time off, and check request status. Compensation management tools help GCCV equitably distribute funds in the salary pool, further enhancing engagement. Managers can approve time off on mobile devices, view where mobile time punches occurred, and see how hours compare to the budget. Reporting easily shows hours worked by location and labor hours tied to grants and projects. With automated HCM processes, managers have more time to focus on associates and GCCV’s mission.
