Healthcare Organization Reduces Costs by 70% After PEO Exit

Table of Contents

Issue

When a healthcare organization quickly grew from 20 to over 180 employees, they faced administrative challenges, high costs, and outdated technology with their Professional Employer Organization (PEO). Paying roughly $500,000 annually in administrative fees, the client was unsatisfied with the PEO’s service and analytical insights, prompting a search for a new HR and benefits management solution.

Solution

  • With solutions in human capital management, flexible benefits, and retirement and investment solutions, CBIZ created a comprehensive proposal offering significant savings compared to the client’s PEO bundle.
  • To compensate for the loss of administrative support, CBIZ HR Solutions, a comprehensive online HR compliance portal, empowered HR employees to handle work in-house and effectively support their employees.
  • CBIZ’s human capital management platform, Centrally HR, eliminated manual procedures, offered employees self-service tools, and saved the client time and money on administrative processes.
  • The client’s 401(k) and flexible benefits were seamlessly integrated, while enrollment processes and payroll deductions became automated.
  • Unbundling 401(k) and state unemployment insurance allowed the client to take on a lower SUI model, creating ongoing annual savings of over $10,000.

Outcome

  • The client saved over 70% in the first year and created a lasting reduction in human capital management costs.
  • Updating their outdated HR platform helped streamline HR and benefits processes, ultimately providing a better employee experience.
  • Investing in their team’s education helped the client develop a successful HR team who could provide more personalized support for their employees.
