HUB International Limited (HUB) has launched HUB PEO Consulting, a dedicated US-based consulting practice aimed at supporting clients interested in working with professional employer organizations (PEOs).
PEOs provide outsourced human resources services, including payroll administration, benefits management, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), workers' compensation, and compliance support.
HUB said that the new practice is designed to help businesses evaluate and implement PEO partnerships aligned with their operational and strategic goals.
The launch comes at a time when regulatory oversight and market competition are increasing, prompting small and mid-sized businesses to seek external HR support. PEOs offer access to infrastructure, technology, and resources that many organizations may not be able to develop in-house.
Recent market data indicates rising demand for PEO services, especially among small and mid-sized firms. These businesses often lack internal resources to handle expanding regulatory requirements, driving the appeal of outsourcing HR functions.
Carrie B. Cherveny, Esq. (pictured above), has been appointed as the national PEO consulting practice lead. Cherveny brings more than 15 years of experience in employment law and ERISA, including previous roles as a chief compliance officer and in-house counsel for a PEO.
She will oversee HUB’s national PEO strategy, manage key partnerships, and advise clients on navigating the complexities of HR compliance and operational efficiency.
"By partnering with a PEO, companies are able to provide their employees access to high-quality, comprehensive benefits, minimize risk, stay on top of regulations, and minimize HR administrative tasks," said Cherveny.
The HUB PEO Consulting practice offers several types of engagement models. These include a fully outsourced solution encompassing employee benefits, 401(k) services, payroll and tax administration, unemployment defense, workers' compensation, claims management, and EPLI coverage.
The launch of HUB PEO Consulting follows HUB’s broader expansion efforts. Earlier this month, the company reached a $29 billion valuation after securing a $1.6 billion minority investment.
