Cybercrime is at an all-time high and hackers are targeting small and medium-sized businesses. Just one incident can have a significant impact on PEOs and their clients, potentially forcing your clients to close their doors. Some of the most prevalent cybercrimes happening today - like Paycheck Protection Program and unemployment claims fraud - come from stolen identities, phishing schemes, and ransomware attacks. Employees can be a company’s biggest liability, but they can also be the most effective front-line defender. Left unprotected, their digital footprint presents significant risk. This session talked about some of the most common types of cybercrimes that you and your clients face today and how to protect against these threats. They also discussed how educating employees and creating a culture of “personal digital wellness” helps protect both your clients and worksite employees. View the

The PEO model delivers a strong value proposition to small and medium-sized businesses. For example, if a PEO offers a 401(k) plan, prospects are three times more likely to go to a PEO than if they don’t. What’s more, they are more likely to stay with the PEO if they have a 401(k) plan as a part of their benefits package. Yet few PEO organizations have utilized the 401(k) effectively while marketing their services to SMBs, missing out on the growth opportunity.
This will ultimately help PEO leaders identify areas of opportunity within their organization - laying the foundation for a significant competitive advantage and improved business outcomes. This session is only open to PEO members.

During this presentation, Slavic401k founder and CEO John Slavic provides insights on the economic future, the reordering of the business economy, and the implications for SMBs and the PEO industry.
COVID-19 started a trend with labor disruption, exacerbated by government bailouts and the persistence of the virus for nearly two years. The problem is, SMBs and the economy can’t survive a protracted disruption like this. Consequently, we are going to see a reordering of businesses. PEOs will need a more focused lens on the future, not relying how business was conducted in the past. Those who are adept will expand, grow, and profit from it. Those who aren’t will eventually languish.
This fundamental change is underway. Learn how to stay ahead of the curve.

More often that not, the number one thing that can cause issues in a claim is lack of communication. Whether it is better communication between the carrier and employer up front in an investigation, more explanation to the injured worker about what to expect during the work comp process, or the employer communicating with the employee throughout the process, proactive communication is key for success. During this webinar we will go into detail surrounding the importance of communication throughout the life of the claim, what each party can do to be better involved and collaborate, all with the goal of quicker return to work and a solid outcome. We will outline simple best practices that PEO’s and their client companies can utilize to streamline their work comp process and keep everyone engaged throughout the process. We will also discuss how these best practices can affect the overall underwriting process and attractiveness of a PEO.

Professional employer organizations offer a broad suite of services to their customers that frequently extend into multiple domains that include HR, benefits & payroll; safety & risk and regulatory compliance; financial security and retirement vehicles; among other areas. As such, PEOs are well positioned to help accelerate numerous health equity initiatives across their diverse service areas.
This presentation will focus on health equity as it relates primarily to health and benefits plans covered by ERISA—but will also touch briefly on how social determinants can be impacted through other service areas provided by the PEO. This may be as simple as giving thoughtful consideration to the structure of an STD benefit or elimination period; or offering an optional socially responsible investment vehicle.

The key to cyber resilience in any organization is proper training and awareness tactics for every employee and even contract staff. As a PEO, it’s not just your company’s data that’s at risk when a cyber-incident occurs – your clients and their data that can be affected as well. Nothing compares to proper reoccurring awareness training when it comes to protecting your business your clients, and you. Remember, it’s not IF a cyber incident will occur…. it’s WHEN.
Join our panel of cybersecurity experts as they discuss the importance of awareness training and how it can protect your business – your clients – and you in the event of an attack. Hear from Tom Watson, Chief Information Security Officer of isolved, Chris Furtick, Vice President, Client Solutions of Fortalice Solutions, Dan Holland, Principal Risk Advisor Arete Solutions, Brian Cyprian of the FBI and more as they dive into steps to provide awareness to your employees and to provide training in the critical area of cybersecurity.

For many smaller and medium sized companies, the finance organization is either very basic or non-existent. For many business owners, finance is largely outsourced to a bookkeeper, a tax preparation firm, and the bank. In our years of working with PEO’s, Payroll Funding Company has seen the consequences of a lack of attention to the financial management.
Notably, the PEO is in a unique position to help their clients (at little to no cost to the PEO!) better manage some critical finance issues that will make both the client and the PEO better off. This presentation will offer perspective on a couple of key issues that PEO’s can be prepared to help their clients handle. The ultimate hope is that a modest improvement in the support of finance will have meaningful long-term impacts that help the client AND the PEO successfully grow over time, all while strengthening the relationship PEO’s have with their clients.
