A professional employer organization (PEO) helps companies outsource their human resources requirements and manages such areas as employee benefits, payroll and workers' compensation. This lets the client companies maintain their focus on what they do best -- run their business. A PEO is different from standard HR consulting or outsourcing firms, which may provide a limited number of services. PEOs should also not be confused with temp firms, staffing agencies or payroll administration companies. A PEO integrates completely into a company's HR framework, providing a comprehensive approach to manage a client company's day-to-day HR needs and responsibilities. Just like having an in-house HR department, a dedicated team of HR specialists will be on-hand to handle critical human resource responsibilities and to manage employer risk factors. The HR team maintains an employer relationship with the client’s employees and assumes certain employer roles, along with the corresponding rights, responsibilities and risks.
The tasks and functions taken on by a capable PEO include recruitment and hiring, managing workers' compensation and benefits, payroll and payroll tax management, and managing compliance with government requirements. The PEO staff can help formulate and implement training and development programs, performance management initiatives and policies and guidelines for best practices. This separation of responsibilities is called "co-employment." Companies that do not yet understand the principles and benefits of the co-employment arrangement with a PEO may mistakenly think that they are giving up control of a key area of company operations, and may be hesitant to hire a PEO. But as many success stories amply demonstrate, working with a PEO can actually give the company more control over details that would have otherwise been overlooked.
The PEO industry today is experiencing steady growth as companies across the country realize and appreciate the value and benefits PEOs offer. These advantages include the following:
* Companies get to offload employment administration and get to focus instead on their core competencies and revenue generating activities.
* Clients have access to a team of HR experts who can offer a wealth of solutions, boosting their ability to manage their employees. Having this expertise often translates into higher levels of efficiency and productivity for the company.
* By having someone monitor employment practices, government compliance, and risk management, companies minimize their liabilities. The PEO also shares in employer related risks, further reducing the company's employer liabilities.
* With someone looking after employment benefits for them, companies can become better places to work in become competitive in the labor market. Client companies can attract high quality workers and improve their workforce.
* A company that partners with a much larger PEO also gains the purchasing power of the PEO, allowing them to enjoy the same discounts and savings as the bigger company.

Commercial Resources Incorporated Best Professional Services Provider in Iowa
Commercial Resources Incorporated in Iowa or CRI has created a unique position in the marketplace as the premier small business administrative services provider. We are the one agency that is uniquely experienced, organized, and staffed to build your bottom line no matter where in the United States you are. CRI currently handles a very diverse client base.
The depth of experience allows us to fully leverage the relationships between our experience, our clients, and the bottom line. Our ability to deliver on our promises – time and again – is what makes CRI both so successful and so admired among our peers.
Professional Capabilities
At the very heart of our business is a deep and abiding commitment to support business potential. At the heart of a successful business is a driven mission, one that should create business building potentials and outcomes. It should be evident to the customers and clients, to the staff, and hopefully to the buyer that the business is a well oiled machine requiring only the slightest nudge from its owner from time to time.
CRI is organized to serve as your business’ success steward, from the earliest days of on-boarding to the day the reins are handed to someone else. CRI will adjust according to need, bill only for the work done, have the most appropriate person do the work, or simply “take care of it all”.
CRI’s client handling skills are second to none. We were born of the entrepreneurial spirit. We understand what it means to be standing in your shoes better than any other provider in the industry. We have 18 “in house” businesses of our own to prove it.
National Operations
CRI has gone to great lengths to make working with clients anywhere in the country a snap. It wasn’t a snap putting it together. First we had to bring in two separate ISP lines at the maximum speed available. Next we install switchers to make sure our office is running at maximum available speed at any given time. Next comes the redundancy of dual hubs to make sure if one drops the other takes over. Then there is the firewall system, the server, the backup server and the dual remote offsite servers located at different locations throughout the country. And that is just for our accounting systems.
To make it better we partnered with a web app software developer / provider to customize a remote delivery payroll system. We call it CRISaas (software as a service). Then we created the first link of its kind to merge the online payroll system to the internationally acclaimed high end accounting Sage Software program called MAS90.
What does that all mean? Our payroll competition will be scratching their heads asking, “How did they do that?” We like that. And as an FYI to our competitors, we could use a little competition to help us raise the bar a little higher.
Web Marketing and Management
The world is changing fast, often much faster than web sites and their updates. CRI has turned the tables on the traditional method of creating, changing, and updating web sites with their new Web Marketing and Management division.
Web sites have always taken a huge amount of time and investment to get it right. Often by the time you're ready to “publish” the site it is antiquated. We’ve change that. Call us about how our company can help you enjoy a completely different web experience. We have the systems and the talent to do what most small businesses only dream of and we can do it at a fraction of what you have experienced. Warning… we don’t do it like anyone else does. One or two paradigm shifts and you’re on your way to a much more productive web experience.
CRI Project Plan
CRI has invested heavily in other opportunities to help our clients be more successful. One way that we’ve done this is to work with web application and programming developers to deliver a free project management tool to our clients. http://www.criproplan.com/. It is a web based software application that allows our clients to manage their projects from anywhere in the world and anytime they want. Gone on vacation to Fiji and want to know who’s doing what and how things are progressing? Piece of cake. Go to any web browser log in from a web browser and you're there. You can tell what is going on with each project, check updates, leave comments, send e-mail messages or just see who has been working on the projects and when. Very cool stuff and it is FREE to CRI clients. Just another way we put our money where our mouth is when it comes to our commitment to small businesses.
