What aRE peo SERVICES?

CognosHR can serve your company’s human resources (HR) needs in many different ways. Our Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services model is geared for small to mid-size companies interested in a cost-effective, comprehensive HR solution that helps them manage everything from daily HR tasks to risk mitigation and policy development.

For companies with aggressive growth goals, PEO services enable safer, more efficient company growth. Think of us as your strategic partner and HR back office that gets you to the next level.


 BENEFITS OF THE PEO MODEL

Under the PEO services model, the client and CognosHR enter into a services agreement that allows CognosHR to contractually assume certain employer-related responsibilities and risks on our clients’ behalf.

It also allows us to aggregate our clients’ employees to leverage group buying power and economies of scale. This is helpful when dealing with insurance carriers, technology providers, and other employee benefits providers.


We started with Cognos when we were at six employees. Now we’re over 150 employees and counting. The CognosHR team has been invaluable during our times of hyper-growth and instrumental in our understanding of employment laws as we’ve expanded across the United States. They understand the needs of a start-up and bring needed expertise around payroll, medical benefits, 401(k) retirement plans and HR management. Their team is completely accessible and know business does not just happen from 9-5, Monday through Friday. With CognosHR, truly feel like I have an HR partner.
