The PEO industry continues to reduce small business injury costs

Three top professional employer organizations (PEOs) have attained additional workers' compensation risk management credentials from the Certification Institute. This comes at a time when the insurance industry is coming under increased scrutiny, and workplace health and safety have proved to be a crucial investment to a small business's long-term success.

Statistics show that small businesses who have a strong health and safety culture that includes comprehensive health and safety procedures, on average reduce their injury and sickness costs by 20 percent. A well planned health and safety program is obtainable even for small businesses and doesn't have to be an administrative burden if outsourced to a PEO or professional employer organization.

PEOs routinely: arrange workers' compensation coverage, provide risk management, manage claims and provide back to work programs for several million workers as part of their service to small and mid-sized businesses.

A PEO can best help your company put in place an employee incentive program. To find the right PEO for your company, please visit www.peo7.com.
