Hub International Launches PEO Consulting Practice
In a significant move to enhance human resources efficiencies, Hub International Limited (HUB) recently unveiled its PEO Consulting practice. This new service is designed for businesses seeking to collaborate with Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) to streamline their HR functions, manage employee benefits, and ensure regulatory compliance.
As the business landscape evolves, so do the challenges faced by small and mid-sized enterprises. Many are grappling with increased regulatory scrutiny and a competitive marketplace, making the role of PEOs more critical than ever. These organizations serve essential functions such as payroll management, benefits administration, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), and overall HR support, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.
Linda Keller, Chief Operating Officer of HUB Employee Benefits, highlighted the importance of selecting the right PEO partner. "HUB has formed national partnerships with select PEOs, ensuring that our consultants possess the expertise necessary to guide businesses towards the most effective human resources solutions that align with their strategic objectives," Keller explained.
At the helm of this new consultancy is Carrie B. Cherveny, Esq., an established leader in HUB's Employee Benefits Compliance Practice. With over 15 years of experience in compliance and employment law, including a significant tenure as In-House Counsel in a PEO, Cherveny is set to lead HUB’s national PEO strategies, focusing on maximizing client support and enhancing their overall experience.
Cherveny stressed the benefits of aligning with a PEO for companies, noting, "By engaging a PEO, organizations not only gain access to comprehensive employee benefits but also mitigate risks, keep pace with regulations, and reduce HR-related administrative burdens." As the complexities of employment law continue to grow, partnering with PEOs offers a strategic solution for navigating these challenges.
The PEO Consulting practice at HUB offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of its clients:
Complete Outsourced Solutions
This includes a full range of services such as employee benefits management, payroll services, unemployment defense, and claims management for workers' compensation—ensuring that businesses can outsource their HR needs seamlessly.
PEO Hybrid Solutions
For clients preferring a more customized approach, the PEO Hybrid service option allows organizations to select specific services while leveraging PEO technologies and infrastructure without completely outsourcing all HR functions.
PEO Exit Solutions
For businesses looking to transition away from PEOs, HUB offers strategic planning assistance for client-sponsored programs and their own payroll systems. This includes detailed project plans, coordination of communications, and management of tasks to facilitate a smooth transition.
As organizations continue to face unique HR challenges, HUB's PEO Consulting practice emerges as a beacon of support, guiding businesses towards effective HR solutions that foster growth and compliance.
