Factors Affecting PEO Client Retention Rates
PEO client goes out of businessThe recession of 2006 through 2012 has forced many small and medium sized companies to close their doors. These recession casualties have caused the PEO retention rates to be reduced. New start-up companies often hire a PEO since they get turn key insurance HR administrative services. In general, start up companies have a high failure rate. According to this research only 43% of businesses started in 2005 were still in existence five years later. Since new businesses often hire a PEO, it can be inferred that any PEO with a five year retention rate over 43% is adding value and expertise that helps start up companies survive and prosper. Review the BLS failure rate for business startups. Some PEOs have specialized in construction and other high risk (for workers’ compensation insurance) industries. These PEOs have seen high client attrition due to the fact that their target client market has shrunk. In addition, geography also plays a role. Most PEOs cover only limited states and some states have been affected by the recession much more than others. For example, PEOs that specialize in construction in Florida have seen a high customer loss rate during the recession.
Client drops the PEOIn some cases the PEO client may become dissatisfied with the PEO service level or to changes in the PEO benefits plans. Although rare, some PEO have moved from group health insurance plans to individually underwritten plans and this has affected the health insurance costs for the client. I those cases the client may leave the PEO to engage a different PEO or go to a standard market health insurance plan.
PEO drops the clientIn other situations the PEO may drop the client if the client refuses to implement safety programs that keep work comp costs in check or fails to implement the recommended HR processes. PEOs work to keep insurance and employment risk costs in check and may terminate clients who do not assist with those objectives.
