What Cohiva Culture is
Cohiva Culture is an HRIS for shift-based operators, combining onboarding, venue rostering, leave, timesheets and payroll export. During onboarding, it records staff details, qualifications and pay rules. Managers can build schedules across locations, track availability, and handle leave requests, approvals and balances. Worked hours are captured for reconciliation against rosters, while approved timesheets generate payroll exports. Payroll figures feed into Cohiva Crunch, letting finance view labour cost alongside club revenue. Culture connects natively with Cohiva Complex for venue rostering and club operations. Cohiva says Culture, Complex and Crunch share one data layer, so staff records can move from Culture to Complex without connectors or manual synchronisation. It is aimed at health clubs, aquatic centres, gyms, swim schools, franchise operators and other multi-site fitness businesses with casual or part-time teams. Health clubs can schedule front desk staff, instructors, trainers and duty managers across venues.
