Human resource services is becoming a larger part of the agency services, and many agencies with employee benefits operations are providing some of the basics: benefits enrollment administration during open enrollment periods, assistance with employee benefits communications, and consulting on government compliance issues.

On a purely functional level, human resources (HR) was draining Stamford Federal Credit Union president/CEO Ray Dowling's time. He started doing research on the Internet and came up with this thing called a professional employee organization (PEO), Dowling explains. In a PEO arrangement, a business places all or most of its workforce onto the payroll of an outsourcing firm, which assumes responsibility for payroll, benefits and other human resource functions. Dowling selected ADP Total Source, Miami. While CUES member Deborah Humbert's outsourcing situation is not the antithesis of Dowling's, it represents the outsourcing issue from another angle.

Businesses are paying a heavy toll for the current economic downturn. Now more than ever, they need resources to help streamline operations, manage risks, contain costs and build employee morale. For these and other reasons, many small and mid-sized companies are outsourcing their human resources to a professional employer organization.

With 400 member-companies operating in 50 states, the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) has successfully fostered the growth and development of the PEO industry. As this $68 billion industry has gained momentum, operational requirements and standards have risen as well. In this era marked by high-profile corporate malfeasance, PEOs can help companies comply with tax regulations and ever-expanding workplace legislation. The PEO industry's accreditation program has been another incentive for companies to continue outsourcing their HR, as it eliminates the concerns of executives or their advisors (CPAs and attorneys) that a PEO's fiscal condition might prevent a PEO from meeting its obligations to its clients. The PEO industry is encouraging best practices...
