Power PEO Consulting
Power PEO Consulting is an independent consulting firm that seeks out the most suitable PEO partner for your organization. The right PEO partnership can help an organization increase profitability by optimizing the workforce and mitigating employee related risks. Specifically, a PEO is a single source solution that includes: HR, Health Benefits, 401k, Workers’ Compensation, Payroll and EPLI Insurance. Because the PEO service is so comprehensive, and there are 700+ PEOs nationwide, handling the search internally can be very time consuming and complicated. When you partner with Power PEO Consulting, the PEO search will be far more efficient and transparent so you can make a more informed decision; the outcome will be a better PEO partner.
Our process is simple: We take the time to listen to your company’s specific challenges and understand the vision for the future. We identify the most suitable PEOs for your business, navigate you through the complex buying process, assist with PEO implementation and act in a concierge capacity between the PEO and your company for the lifetime of the relationship.
