What Is PEO?

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) provide integrated human resource outsource services, including employee management, that help reduce employer risks for their clients (client businesses).

PEOs are the most effective way for small and mid-sized companies to outsource employer services such as the administration of their human resources functions (e.g., employee benefits, payroll, workers’ compensation). By contracting out their business’s HR and personnel functions to PEOs, clients can focus more on their company’s growth, strategic direction, and “big picture” planning.
