NAICS 56133 - Professional Employer Organizations
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing human resources and human resource management services to staff client businesses. Establishments in this industry operate in a coemployment relationship with client businesses or organizations and are specialized in performing a wide range of human resource and personnel management duties, such as payroll accounting, payroll tax return preparation, benefits administration, recruiting, and managing labor relations. Employee leasing establishments typically acquire and lease back some or all of the employees of their clients and serve as the employer of the leased employees for payroll, benefits, and related purposes. Employee leasing establishments exercise varying degrees of decisionmaking relating to their human resource or personnel management role, but do not have management accountability for the work of their clients' operations with regard to strategic planning, output, or profitability. Professional employer organizations (PEO) and establishments providing labor or staff leasing services are included in this industry.
Industry trends:
The Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) industry, classified under NAICS 56133, is witnessing several key qualitative trends. One prominent trend is the increasing demand for comprehensive HR solutions, driven by small to medium-sized businesses seeking to outsource complex HR functions such as compliance, benefits administration, and talent management. This outsourcing enables these businesses to focus more on their core competencies. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on employee wellness and mental health programs, which PEOs are increasingly incorporating into their service offerings to attract and retain top talent.
The integration of advanced technology platforms is another significant trend. PEOs are leveraging AI and machine learning to automate routine tasks, enhance HR analytics, and provide more personalized employee experiences. This tech-driven approach is expected to continue evolving, offering more sophisticated tools for both employers and employees.
In the near future, the industry is forecasted to experience steady growth, fueled by the ongoing shift towards remote and hybrid work models. As businesses adapt to these new work environments, they will rely more on PEOs to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and manage remote workforce productivity. Furthermore, with increasing regulatory pressures and a dynamic labor market, the expertise of PEOs in risk management and compliance will be in higher demand.
Overall, the PEO industry is poised for continued expansion, supported by technological advancements and a growing need for specialized HR services in an increasingly complex business environment.
