For many years, Professional Employment Organisations (PEOs) like Australia PEO has been considered as growth partners for companies, which is why many have turned to the stability they offer in recent times of crisis.

Businesses all over the world have been dealt some severe blows off the back of the economic consequence of Coronavirus. With limited access to expert HR knowledge, many business owners have been forced to let go of staff, slash business hours and minimise overheads. This is where Australia PEO can come in handy.

So, why are more companies turning to Professional Employment organisations in times of crisis? For one, it offers more flexibility and security for not only their head office but also their workers in Australia. They also give business owners access to highly experienced and skilled HR professionals in their time of greatest need. At Australia PEO, we help our client partners navigate the adversities that come with conducting business in Australia in challenging times.

Here are three reasons why Australia PEO can help navigate your business through COVID-19.

Managing compliance

Have you noticed a rapid change in legislation and employment rules in Australia since the pandemic hit its shores? You’re not imagining things. As has happened in Australia as a result of Coronavirus, it’s not uncommon for governments to increase measures and make alterations to existing business rules in times of crisis (see changes in bankruptcy law and workplace law).

It can be confusing and overwhelming to keep up with these legislation changes, but by partnering with a PEO in Australia, staying on top of fluctuating laws and regulations is our job. We help put the strategies and processes in place that meet not only your business’s needs but your workers’ needs too.

Partnering with Australia PEO will help your company mitigate the risk of non-compliance in a very vulnerable period.

Staffing

Have you experienced an involuntary decline in your employee count, but your team’s workload has stayed the same? Your business may be in need of efficient and strategic solutions that ensure your business is running in ship-shape during the pandemic.

We get it; sourcing the right talent and onboarding staff isn’t really “fun” when the future of your business is under threat. But, Australia PEO has the resources and skill to ensure you have the right employees working in the right roles. At Australia PEO, we guarantee your staffing needs are met even in the most challenging of times. We have the resources, knowledge and experience to get staff hired and working within 24 hours.

Cost reductions and reduced liability

Because a Professional Employer Organisation takes care of the vast majority of employment processes on your behalf, you’ll have less liability and more time to focus on crucial aspects of your business that require your attention.

Partnering with a PEO in Australia means you’ll eliminate the need of employing a full-stacked HR team to take care of standard payroll processes, significantly minimising your employment overheads.

You’ll also welcome reduced liability for your workers here in Australia, as Australia PEO takes on the responsibility of them as their employer of record.

Business won’t be the same again, perhaps for a very long time.

This means outsourcing to trusted payroll partners when it’s needed the most.
