What is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

A PEO is one of the most important management tools available to today’s small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) owner. In a PEO arrangement, you transfer your employees to Trend’s payroll, and we become the Employer of Record. We take care of the administrative headaches normally associated with running an HR department, including payroll, taxes, workers compenstation, benefits, government reporting, and more. You retain full control over the management and activities of your employees.

Why should I consider using a PEO?

TREND^TM helps eliminate the burden of staffing and running your own HR and payroll departments, allowing you to focus your energy where it counts most—on building your business. In addition, with healthcare, workers compensation, and other human resources costs skyrocketing, business owners are looking for ways to reduce operating overhead and improve productivity. As a PEO, TREND^TM can help accomplish that goal by using economies of scale to negotiate bulk rates on benefits and services that an SMB alone cannot. As a result, you can offer your employees “big-company benefits” at competitive rates. Better benefits packages can help you attract and retain the best possible talent.
