A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a company that partners with businesses to manage essential HR tasks such as payroll, employee benefits, compliance, and risk management. By partnering with a PEO, business owners can focus on growing their company while having peace of mind that their HR responsibilities are being handled by experts. PEOs also provide small businesses access to big-company benefits like comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans, and risk management support that they might not otherwise be able to offer.

As businesses grow, managing HR becomes complex and time-consuming. Most business owners lack the specialized knowledge required for HR, payroll, and regulatory compliance. PEOs, like THRS, simplify these tasks, offer access to big-company benefits, and reduce risk, giving businesses the freedom to focus on their core operations.

Through a PEO, employees gain access to benefits that are often only available at larger companies, such as 401(k) plans, health, dental, and life insurance. PEOs also improve job security and satisfaction by providing professional HR services, training, and development opportunities.
