Work Comp Staffing Solutions has succeeded in becoming the premier PEO/workers compensation consultant, exclusively servicing the staffing industry. After I sold my national staffing business where I used PEO services extensively throughout the country with my 60 offices, I wanted to share my great PEO experiences with other staffing company owners. Bottom line– I wanted to help my industry friends save money.
We started Work Comp Staffing Solutions in November of 2007. In the last 5 years, Work Comp Staffing Solutions has serviced nearly 30 staffing clients, totaling about 40M in annual payroll– with the a 90% retention rate. Some clients have been start ups and some have been larger staffing companies with Millions in payroll. They all had a common problem before they called Work Comp Staffing Solutions… their workers compensation rates (usually from the State Funds) were driving them out of business and they needed a staffing/PEO professional who understood their unique challenges.
Thank you for all your support.

As a former staffing company owner, I would look at my annual work comp rate increases and immediately think about my workers compensation claims and how they affected my rates. But rates reflect a combination of micro and macro events in our world.
To be sure, my firm’s safety record was very important; but the profitability of the entire insurance industry also impacted my workers compensation (as well as my other business insurance) rates.
For example, if the insurance industry finds that it is not making enough money for it’s investors, it may hike your premiums to increase returns for its shareholders — regardless of your particular work comp loss history. Or if significant natural disasters happen like Katrina, Irene, and now Sandy, where the industry has to make huge payouts to policy holders, you might find your rates increasing to cover these payouts.
Below is an excellent short article that discusses these issues. I recommend it and ask that we all begin to think about how Sandy (now expected to top 25B in insurance related losses) may affect rates for years to come.

Last week I attended the American Staffing Association Conference. There was a wonderful key note presentation by Jim Collins http://www.jimcollins.com/about-jim.html about how to successfully manage in these dynamic economic times. I found this topic very germane to dealing with today’s workers compensation environment. Between rising work comp rates in 2013, and the strong possibility of Obamacare occurring in 2014, the seas of change seem to be crashing in around the industry.
Jim pointed out how invaluable developing a strategy to sell “value” over price will separate the winners from the losers.
For many staffing companies, looking at all options for keeping back office and workers compensation rates as low as possible, will also be imperative so they can focus on selling value. Working with a PEO / Professional Employer Organization partner will invariable be the solution for some Light Industrial staffing companies that want to stay in business but have challenges in the workers compensation area.
Firms that are only willing or able to look at traditional solutions for keeping workers compensation costs in line may be victims of these monumental changes in the staffing world. Working with a generalist insurance broker may not suffice. working with a specialist like Work Comp Staffing Solutions makes all the more sense. One big takeaway that Jim emphasized is that the business world, especially the staffing world is changing quickly.
Let’s chat about your workers compensation situation before you feel the pain of higher rates or worse, policy cancellation. With our 25 years of helping staffing companies solve their workers compensation issues, we can apply that experience so you are a winner in the turbulent staffing environment.
