How a PEO Promotes Safety at Your Temp Staffing Business
Are you taking the right steps to protect your temporary staffing industry employees from workplace injuries? If you’re ready to improve your safety processes, here are a few ways a professional employer organization (PEO) can help.
- Improved Safety Practices
Drawing on their own expertise and industry knowledge, your PEO can work with you to improve safety practices and protocols around your temporary staffing business. They can assist with a variety of safety tasks, like employee safety training, updating employee safety resources, and improved injury reporting processes.
- Compliance Support
In the temporary staffing industry, where workers are often sent out to assignments in a wide array of other industries, it can be difficult to keep track of all relevant laws and regulations. For example, a temporary worker sent to the manufacturing industry will likely have different safety requirements than a worker sent to a job at a construction site. It can be all too easy to fall behind on keeping up with compliance, but a PEO can help your business stay up-to-date on all laws and regulations.
- Risk Management Assistance
When your business partners with a PEO, you’ll also receive assistance on risk management tasks. Your PEO can help your business identity hazards around your business, reducing your chances of workplace injuries, liability issues, and other safety risks that can drive up your Workers’ Compensation premiums. Once risks are identified, a PEO will also help you take the proper steps to address them, and prevent the same risks from occurring in the future.
- Audit Support
For business owners, audits can be a stressful process. Errors during an audit can lead to many consequences, including raised premiums, fines, or even a lapse in Workers’ Compensation coverage. With a PEO partnership, you’ll receive support in the process of preparing for an audit. For example, they’ll inspect your workplace safety procedures and ensure you have the right safety plans in place.
- Stronger Worker’ Compensation Options
If you struggle to secure the right Workers’ Compensation coverage due to high premiums or limited options, a PEO can help you find the coverage you need to protect your employees and your business. By leveraging a wide pool of carriers, your PEO can help you find personalized, affordable coverage that fits the exact needs of your temporary staffing business.
