Which PEO in Charlotte is the Best Fit for My Business?
Aaron Gould • Oct 28, 2019
The Charlotte PEO Focus Team Explains How To Choose
When the phone rings or the email dings from someone in the Carolina’s looking for information about whether or not a PEO may be a good fit for them the most common question we receive is,“Which PEO out of Charlotte is the most likely the best fit for our business?”. Well, unfortunately there is no simple answer for that question but right now we will try to answer it to the best of our ability. So without further ado, let’s dive right in to why this question does not come down to a simple answer.
There are over 75 PEO options that Service North and South Carolina.
While there are only a few Publicly Traded PEO’s that have sales teams in the Carolina region like Paychex
which recently purchased HROI
and Oasis, Insperity, TriNet, ADP TotalSource, BBSI
and GMS
to name a few, there are also many Private Companies like Total HR, CES, Propel HR, and FrankCrum
that are not as well known. Even more so, there are PEO’s that service North Carolina and South Carolina that do not have a physical presence and for the right groups offer a much more strategic solution than some of those that do.
For the most part, even the PEO’s with a physical presence in the Carolina regions have service teams that are located in different states with Florida and Texas being the most common.
So choosing a PEO
with an office in your region really does not provide too many advantages as more often than not your HR Consulting and Payroll teams will be based out of state.
Yeah Yeah but which one is the best?
Oh right, I am supposed to be telling you which Carolina PEO
partner is the best. The issue here is, there is no blanket answer. We could speak with 10 different business owners and identify 10 different answers.
The key is being able to comprehend what your business needs are, how your growth plans are impacted by the solutions the PEO can put in place, and the way your employees utilize different benefit options. For example, if your business is extremely busy and chaotic in October, November and December for year end, than there may be value in working with a PEO that has their Employee Benefits
open enrollment period in April or June. Does your company have a large group of employees that are hourly and have needs for job costing or are they mostly salaried employees? Are your Workers Comp needs high risk or are your employees mostly working from an office all day? These are just some of the questions that may impact a decision to focus on some PEO offerings over another.
The most important part is not feeling like you have found the “Best PEO” but rather that you have found the best PEO for your needs.
So how do I know which questions to ask and how to find the right PEO?
This is the part of the article where I get to promote our team and how we help our clients feel comfortable with the PEO or other similar options that are available to them. As PEO Consultants, the Charlotte PEO
Focus team helps our clients identify which PEO’s excel at offering the services that matter the most to them. We also help you uncover what those needs are by providing you with a complimentary consultation so that everyone better understands what services and offerings are available that will have the greatest impact on your goals and what you are trying to accomplish internally. By taking the guesswork out of the RFP process, your business is in a better position to understand all of your options and negotiate the best position.
So What Does This All Mean?
What this means is that there is no one answer that can satisfy this question. That each business will have its own goals and needs so it is important to partner with the right group for you. We help our clients understand the differences between each PEO’s offerings and how each solution can impact their business.By taking the guesswork out of the equation and adding transparency to the buying process our clients are in a position to make an educated decision and be comfortable with the PEO that they choose.
