Eagan, MN - GovDocs, a leader in employment law compliance solutions, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Founded in 1999 by Zach Stabenow, the company has grown into an industry innovator, continuing to thrive amid the ever-changing landscape of employment law compliance.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader
In 1999, Zach Stabenow and his business partner began their journey with modest resources: a futon, one desktop computer, an analog internet line, and a fax machine. Their vision was simple yet powerful - to simplify the complex process of tracking and updating labor law posters. While Y2K was in full swing, and Tiger Woods claimed his first PGA Championship win, GovDocs was laying the foundation for its future success.
Today, GovDocs has grown exponentially, now operating from a 14,000+ square foot office in Eagan, MN. The company boasts an expanding team, including a dedicated client services team and a specialized employment law and compliance team. Together, they provide industry-leading thought leadership and unwavering support to their clients.
25 Years of Innovation and Growth
GovDocs has a history of innovation, pioneering products now considered industry standards. Today, there are over 2,600 jurisdictions with unique posting requirements that US employers need to track in addition to federal requirements. This challenge for employers paved the way for steady growth at GovDocs as the need for a fully managed compliance program expanded the company’s service offerings. These include online poster ordering, digital labor law poster file access, the QR code-powered ComplianceCheck™, and its advanced successor, PosterCheck™.
This innovative spirit has fueled tremendous growth, with GovDocs experiencing a 47 percent increase in its customer base over the past five years. Today, GovDocs serves over 35 percent of the Fortune 500.
To address the evolving needs of its customers, GovDocs introduced a Minimum Wage and Paid Leave Solution, leveraging cutting-edge geolocation technology with rooftop accuracy. This year, the industry will see a near-record number of minimum wage increases at various jurisdictional levels. GovDocs’ solutions help clients navigate these challenges effectively.
“Nearly every aspect of employment law compliance has increased in complexity, and I believe that we’re headed in the right direction in giving our clients the tools they need to succeed in the coming years,” said Stabenow.
Measuring Success with Meaningful Metrics
GovDocs’ customer-centric approach has distinguished it from competitors, with a remarkable 97 percent renewal rate compared to the industry average of just over 40 percent. “Our renewal rate shows the value we provide our customers better than just about any other metric and is a testament to the health of both GovDocs and our customers,” Stabenow noted.
A Look to the Future
GovDocs continues to invest in technologies that will redefine employment law compliance tracking. In 2023, GovDocs hired Joel Coppin, a former leader in software engineering and technology at Amazon Web Services, to lead their software and technology development. The company is rounding the final corner in a system update that will improve nearly every aspect of the customer experience going forward, including the expansion of geolocation technology.
Throughout its growth and innovation, GovDocs has maintained its focus on the human element, ensuring that client needs remain paramount.
