An interviewer from MyProfessionalNet sits down with Dan Sheridan of PEO Blueprint to explain how Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) help small firms modernize HR without building a big in-house team. They cover what PEOs actually do—HR, payroll, workers’ comp, compliance—and how a PEO’s HRIS ties together essentials like an employee handbook, LMS access, continuing education, training/upskilling, and performance management. The discussion addresses employee benefits packages (how PEOs provide options and administration), typical cash-flow and risk benefits (e.g., per-payroll workers’ comp billing, safety/claims support), and practical selection advice. Dan closes with a small-firm success example and shares contact details for next steps.
Key topics highlighted
- How to evaluate and engage a PEO partner (via PEO Blueprint)
- What services PEOs offer small businesses
- HRIS and policy foundation (handbook, LMS, training, performance)
- How PEOs structure and administer employee benefits
- Workers’ comp, safety, and claims oversight for cost/risk control
