With the complexities of the PEO sales business, VP Sales John Orth recently wrote a bylined entry for NAPEO’s PEO Insider Issue on how to manage the growth of a PEO’s business.

SUMMARY
Many business owners think of a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) as strictly an outsourced HR and payroll partner, but they can add much more value even on top of these core services. At Employer Flexible, our offering reaches far beyond the day-to-day HR and payroll functions and can even directly impact Management’s operations and communication.

Employer Flexible’s broad range of clientele doesn’t translate into a “one-size-fits-all” approach. In fact, it’s the opposite! With a wide array of industries and job functions represented, clients’ needs are met with custom solutions from consultants with all types of different experience.

SUMMARY
As a Professional Employer Organization, Employer Flexible provides a variety of services to businesses of all sizes. From payroll to human resources, the experts at Employer Flexible are experienced in many facets of owning and running a business in order to properly serve their clients.

There are many advantages of a dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) for working caregivers.

Having immediate access to important information is a must nowadays. We live in an on-demand society, and if your customer cannot get what they need “right now”, they will find it elsewhere. That’s why Employer Flexible launched myHR– a mobile application to save its customers time and decrease stress. And who couldn’t use a little more time and a little less stress in their life? With the Employer Flexible myHR app, employees have 24/7 access to critical benefits, payroll and policy information for themselves and covered family members.

When Employer Flexible first launched the app in 2015, demand for digitized employee HR records and benefits information was on the rise. Today, it’s a necessity. This year, worldwide app downloads rose to over 200 billion, with no signs of slowing down.  

As a business owner, productivity is always a priority, but an employee’s health and satisfaction should also be taken into consideration. Running a successful business has become synonymous with maintaining a group of happy and healthy employees who are engaged in their work on a daily basis. However, many companies fail to promote a culture of work-life balance.

There is no longer one solution for accomplishing a healthy work-life balance, nor is it a “nice-to-have” for a business.

Critics of the performance review have long pushed for its extinction. And it's easy to jump on the bandwagon.

Here are five key reasons to keep and perhaps upgrade the performance review for your organization.

The social media landscape offers incredible chances for establishing a positive online presence for your company – but participating in this forum could backfire if not closely controlled. Therefore, as you build your company, you need to establish social media policies that help protect your brand from any digital missteps.

With helpful guidelines in place, your employees can actively participate in social media without risk of tarnishing your brand or disrupting your operations.  

The healthcare flexible savings account (FSA) is one of the most overlooked and advantageous tax havens and personal protections you can use.
