Professional Employer Organization
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a company that partners with other businesses to handle various human resources tasks, such as payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee management. By forming a co-employment relationship, the PEO manages HR responsibilities, allowing the business to focus on its core operations. This arrangement can provide access to better benefits, reduce administrative burdens, and help ensure legal compliance. Essentially, a PEO acts as an external HR department, supporting companies in managing their workforce efficiently and effectively.
