If you want to attract and retain great employees for your business, partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can help you make it happen.
PEO services allow you to outsource the burdensome administrative issues of payroll and HR functions, so you can focus on what you do best. You'll eliminate non-income producing work, gaining more time to spend on getting the best out of your biggest investment - your employees. With its human resource experts to utilize for best practices, a PEO company gives you an edge in recruiting and retaining great people in several ways:
Payroll done right: Nothing dampens employee morale like late or incorrect paychecks. Because the PEO company handles your payroll, you and your team can be assured their payments will be accurate and on time, every time. They also make payments convenient for your team, offering direct deposit and options for secure online reporting and tracking of hours. Best of all, this frees you from the burden of doing payroll yourself. You get back hours a week and more time to spend with your team.
Great employee benefits: To attract and retain the best people, you need to offer benefits that make them feel valued. Working with a PEO lets even small businesses offer generous benefits, since your provider has the buying power to get you group health insurance, dental, and vision plans that fit your budget. Some providers also offer additional benefits such as personal counseling and wellness programs. All this gives you the power to attract and retain top workers on a small business budget.
A safe and welcoming workplace: A PEO company ensures your business is a safe and comfortable place to work. They will work with you to ensure your business is always in compliance with the latest OSHA, ADA, and other regulatory matters that even experienced business owners can overlook. You can also rely on a PEO company's HR expertise to take care of other important tasks for you, such as drafting clear, fair workplace policies to ensure open communication and strong morale. And if any workplace conflict arises that you're not fully comfortable handling yourself, your provider can step in and smooth things out.
To sum up, partnering with a PEO helps you create a workplace where people feel respected and valued—and when they do, they look forward to going to work.
