A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) allows small businesses to outsource their human resources needs to experts. This provides access to HR professionals and services normally only available to large companies. By pooling employees, a PEO can offer benefits at lower costs than if companies acted alone. A PEO handles payroll processing, employee benefits, HR management, risk and safety management, and more. This single source solution relieves business owners of the burden of managing these areas while providing top-notch benefits to attract and retain employees.
