Unbundling HR: Flexible Strategies Beyond PEOs

Professional employer organizations (PEOs) have long promised simplicity and cost savings by bundling human resources (HR) services and benefits administration. But for organizations that want to scale, evolve, or optimize employee experience, these arrangements may come with limitations, including inflexible solutions, rising costs, or lack of customization.

In this webinar, we explore how organizations can gain greater control by unbundling your HR and benefits functions. You’ll learn how to assess whether moving beyond the PEO model makes sense for your organization, what it takes to transition successfully, and how to realize cost savings and improved employee engagement with a more tailored approach.

We'll also offer actionable steps for evaluating your current HR setup, selecting the right systems and vendors, and managing organizational change. You’ll also hear examples of organizations that have thrived after making the shift and learn how unbundled HR services can position HR leaders as more strategic partners in the business.

Whether you’re actively considering leaving a PEO or just exploring your options, this session provides valuable context, tools, and insights to help you make informed decisions.

After watching this webinar recording, you should be able to:

  • Describe the differences between PEO and unbundled HR models
  • Identify the strategic advantages and challenges of transitioning away from a PEO
  • Outline steps to successfully evaluate, plan, and execute an unbundling strategy
  • Recognize how unbundling HR can improve employee experience and business alignment
  • Develop an initial checklist and key metrics for tracking post-transition performance
