According to the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations, the use of PEOs to outsource human resources is on the rise in a big way in the United States. Currently, roughly 15% of all businesses use a PEO to outsource their human resources (HR) and accounting needs, and growth within the PEO industry is 14 times as high as the overall growth of the American economy. With these numbers, it is obvious that outsourcing HR is the wave of the future.
However, some business owners may find the idea of wholesale outsourcing unnecessary. Perhaps they wish to have an in-house team of HR professionals handle some of the work while getting a PEO to perform more in-depth services. With a PEO brokerage service like NetPEO, this is possible. While it is usually a better deal to outsource all of one’s HR needs, since working with a PEO is often less expensive than paying the salaries of a full-time, in-house staff, NetPEO provides employers with the option of selecting specific services to outsource in an a la carte fashion.
Services Provided By Our Partner PEOs
When deciding whether or not to outsource services, the most important bit of information is to learn the kinds of needs that are available for outsourcing. PEOs in NetPEO’s nationwide network can handle any and all of your HR services, including the following:
Payroll Management
A PEO employs experts in the HR industry and can effectively manage and administer client companies’ payroll. Given the difficulties and complications of local and federal tax codes, withholding items like child support or alimony, and other complex maneuvers, having a skilled team of accountants on your side can greatly enhance the efficiency of your business and boost employee satisfaction.
Employee Benefits
One of the most important ways of retaining employees and improving worker satisfaction is by offering comprehensive, high-quality employee benefits packages. When a client business partners with a PEO through the co-employment arrangement, the PEO becomes a co-employer of their employees. This means that all the businesses partnered with that PEO can be added into its employee pool, lowering the individual costs of benefits and providing better negotiating power to get top-tier benefits packages.
Workers’ Compensation Claims
Whether it is through the crafting of safety procedures and policies, walking business owners through the Workers’ Compensation process, or helping ensure compliance with legal regulations, PEOs can help client companies with Workers’ Compensation claims. Overall risk mitigation like this is important in lowering your company’s risk profile and reducing unnecessary expenses.
Employee Administration
Business owners often need time to focus on the growth of their company, the acquisition of new clients and customers, innovation in their industry, and similar pressing issues. Unfortunately, running a business comes with the need to handle lots of time-consuming work dealing with employee issues like onboarding, the development of harassment policies, recruitment tactics, the creation of employee handbooks, and more. A PEO can help client businesses by providing those services so that employers can focus on the bigger picture.
Reasons to Outsource Your HR Needs
So why the rise in outsourcing? Simply put, hiring a PEO to meet a company’s HR and accounting needs saves serious time and money while providing the business with top-level quality. For example, NetPEO acts as a brokerage service to match client companies with our networked PEOs, and the PEOs and staffers in our network have over 200 years of combined experience in the HR industry.
In addition to saving you time and money, outsourcing your HR needs through a PEO broker like NetPEO can create a buyer’s market in which available PEOs have to work hard to earn your business. This leads to better services, more dedicated professionals, and a better experience overall.
