An In-Depth Look with PEOs

Remember when you used to thumb through actual yellow and white pages of a phonebook to find people and services? In this episode, Toby Mathis of Anderson Advisors talks to Fred Lovingier, District Manager for Insperity, a professional employer organization (PEO). Fred has more than 15 years of management, marketing, and sales experience. 

Highlights/Topics: 

• What is a PEO? Outsourcing firm that provides services to small- and medium-sized businesses
• Why work with Insperity? Buying power and outsourcing 
• What are the two main reasons why you should consider a PEO? Stabilize high volatility in healthcare costs and employee liability
• What are business owners’ top concerns? Don’t want to deal with other people
• Does Insperity offer employees access to a group health plan at the same price as other big companies? Yes, just like Walmart, Coca-Cola, and UnitedHealthcare
• What about workers’ comp benefits? Workers’ comp is based on a safety rating or mod number addressed as so much per hundred of payroll
• What’s Insperity’s rule of thumb? Vetted company that becomes a client, automatically reduces its current workers’ comp 10%; dangerous fields costs more money
• Whenever a PEO charges or consumes savings, what happens? Buying power is used to create offsets that help make the cost of doing business tolerable
• What if business owners carry health insurance? Most business people know that they’ll get a new rate, typically higher, every year
• What’s typical misconceptions about who’s liable? It's almost impossible to get a group plan these days; but you can go in combination with a group
• Can people be fired or released? Yes, but they may maintain direction and control of their company and receive onboarding/offboarding assistance
• What's the magic number or sweet spot for a PEO? Groups between five and 5,000
• How much does it cost? Typically, it’s less than the cost of hiring somebody, but the quality is significantly higher
• What is Insperity’s vision and mission? Give people the support and tools they need to grow and help businesses succeed for communities to prosper
• How long do Insperity’s clients stay? On average, clients stay 6.8 years, which represents an 80–85% renewal rate each year
