Lightening the Load with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

Partnering with a PEO may have been a distant consideration in the past, but with over 200,000–900,000 PEOs in operation, it is now a service well worth exploring.

PEO services are rapidly growing—rising from under 5% adoption in 2021 to over 10% in 2025—making them an increasingly important part of modern business strategy.

The benefits of outsourcing HR go far beyond recruitment support. True PEO optimization means working with a partner that delivers high-quality service to both employees and employers.

Share the Responsibility

    Payroll

    Tracking payroll for every employee is a time-consuming process that takes focus away from core business tasks.
    Companies with fewer than 1,000 employees can save up to $5,400 per employee annually by outsourcing HR functions.

    Compliance

    The Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be a key reason businesses consider a PEO, but there are many other laws and regulations to manage.
    A PEO helps relieve this burden while ensuring full compliance.

    Workers’ Compensation

    Minimize risk for both employees and your business by implementing structured processes that optimize workers’ compensation, including state and federal compliance.
