Discover how PrestigePEO’s integrated Human Capital Management technology helps small and medium-sized businesses reduce administrative workload, improve accuracy, and stay compliant, while delivering a better experience for employees and HR teams.

Is HR administration taking too much time away from growing your business?

For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the answer is yes. On average, SMBs spend 11 hours each week managing HR tasks, that’s more than two hours every business day diverted from strategic growth. These demands come at a cost: HR management can total up to $350,000 annually when factoring in manual processes, outdated systems and the risk of noncompliance with ever-changing labor laws.

At PrestigePEO, we understand that running a business means wearing many hats, but HR management should not be one of the heaviest burdens. That’s why we offer more than just Human Capital Management (HCM) technology solutions. Every client we serve benefits from a fully integrated technology platform and a dedicated team of certified HR professionals and labor attorneys.
