Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) have been around for decades. They evolved from employee leasing firms in the 1980s, as a way for businesses to offload their human resources, employee benefits, and payroll responsibilities. 

Today, PEOs are surging in popularity. The National Association of PEOs (NAPEO) says PEO penetration is eleven percent nationwide for businesses with 10-99 employees. Growth has increased about 40% since 2008. At that time, fewer than eight percent of similarly sized employers used a PEO. Today more than a quarter-million small- and mid-sized businesses across the U.S. are served by a PEO.

Certainly, PEOs offer advantages to many employers. But a PEO is not always a long-term solution. Word & Brown has developed a new PEO flyer that you can use in your discussions with clients if they might have a PEO – or might be considering a move to a PEO.

The team at Word & Brown can help you realistically evaluate whether your client’s current PEO arrangement is continuing to support their business goals. If it does not, we will work with you to develop a strategic path forward.

Leaving a PEO is not simply about changing benefits. It is about building a scalable foundation that will support your client’s business and future growth.

Your ideal marketing opportunity to support your clients’ transition away from a PEO is 60-90 days prior to renewal. Word & Brown can help you identify challenges, uncover prospects for increased flexibility and cost transparency, and create a long-term solution tailored to your clients’ evolving needs.
