"Free Managers to Manage People"
"Temps and especially PEOs free up managers to focus on the business rather than on employment- related rules, regulations, and paperwork. To spend up to one-quarter of one's time on employment-related paperwork is indeed a waste of precious, expensive, scarce resources. It is boring. It demeans and corrupts, and the only thing it can possibly teach is greater skill in cheating."

Includes interview with Abel's own Jim Stephens, Mid-Atlantic Regional Manager.

"...many business owners are finding that time is not on their side. The average small business owner spends between 7% and 25% of his or her time handling employee-related paperwork, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, and as a result, many businesses are looking to professional employer organizations (PEOs), organizations that provide a
cost-effective and incorporated structure to human resources management, for answers."

"Venture Capital firms and other investors are rapidly acknowledging the role of the PEO in the success rates of growing firms."...

..."Studies have demonstrated that it is currently costing tech firms more than 10% of gross payroll to learn, implement and conduct these services in-house."

"MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, BOTTOM-LINE- CONSCIOUS companies are outsourcing HR functions by making use of professional employer organizations..."

"Small and mid-sized companies can rid themselves of time-consuming administrative functions and save costs on benefits packages by outsourcing their human resources functions to a PEO."...

..."Estimates of the total cost of quality employee turnover range from a low of 50-60% up to 100-150% of the employee's annual compensation."

"We have many more benefits than we had before, and there was no 30% increase in cost," says Critz. "Best of all, I don't have to hassle with payroll. They handle all the government requirements, which take a great deal of time and effort." 

"The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), whose member companies average 10 employees, looks at PEOs as a possible way to avoid government-mandated health coverage by making affordable insurance more readily available. Fifty-six percent of employees in its member companies currently lack health insurance. "We're always looking for solutions for the working uninsured," says Jamie Amaral, the group's national director of health care. "PEOs are a way to do that."
