The Ps and Qs of PEOs

HR is a triangle—the top is strategic HR, the middle is the HR functions where managers and leaders work together, and the bottom third is the transactional activities, like processing payroll and managing benefits. The bottom is where PEOs, or Professional Employer Organizations, do their best work.  Is working with a PEO to outsource some of that transactional HR work the right choice for your business? Well, there are pros and cons to evaluate, so we invited Brent Tilson on the podcast to talk through them. Brent is a nationally recognized entrepreneur, industry leader, and civic advocate as well as the CEO and founder of TilsonHR—a PEO that provides a comprehensive suite of business solutions to help businesses grow.  Resources: Brent Tilson TilsonHR Your host, Arnette Heintze About the Show: Sign up for the S2Verify mailing list here so you don’t miss an episode.
