Why Partnering with a PEO Could Help Retain Employees

Jim Bennett Plumbing has been around since 1969. In fact, they started out with nothing but a borrowed 1950 Chevy pickup truck and no money. Their mission is the same today as it was back then, “to serve their customer, and to never forget that the customer is the reason they are in business.”
One of the challenges Jim Bennett Plumbing faced was that with a labor-based service, their employees were circulating in and out of the business on a regular basis. They were looking for a way to improve the things they could offer their employees…and they found it with a PEO (Professional Employment Organization). Employees that come back to Jim Bennett Plumbing are now staying long term, because of the employee benefits their PEO was able to put in place. Jim Bennett Plumbing now has the ability to attract and retain the best employees in what has become an ever-shrinking job market. Jim Bennett Plumbing has lots of perks, that a small company wouldn’t traditionally be able to offer, like a 401K plan, medical, dental and vision insurance, short and long-term disability and even accident insurance.
A lot of small businesses get into trouble by not taking care of compliance issues, even simple thing like paying the correct payroll taxes. By partnering with a PEO as their trusted HR partner, Jim Bennett Plumbing doesn’t have to worry, because their PEO serves as their “go to” resource for all HR questions. There are so many things that can go wrong with running a labor-based service in today’s business environment, that it seems an easy decision to allow a PEO to help remove those risks.
Jim Bennett Plumbing continues to improve over time, and so do the services their PEO offers. PEO organizations have become a major tool that has allowed organizations like Jim Bennett Plumbing to focus on growth and customer service.
