The simplest way to find the right PEO for your organization.

NAPEO is holding their annual SalesQuest Event next week in Las Vegas, June 25th & 26th, 2009.  I’m not sure who is going, I’ve attended the event the past serveral years SalesQuest Events, but haven’t been able to find anyone interested in going to this years SalesQuest.  It seems like this event never changes, and if you’ve attented it before you typically get the same content from the previous years event.  Hopefully someone can email me with what they found most interesting topic at this years SalesQuest, if they do, I’ll post it in one of the blogs.  Simply email your thoughts to .  For more information on NAPEO’s SalesQuest, visit their website at http://www.napeo.org/meetings/salesquest2009.cfm

Blogging is back… wow… I took a bit of a sabbatical from blogging… but now I’m back and will be providing regular content on the site. I’ve spent the past few months dealing with some SEO issues, really confusing, but I have learnt a lot through the process and will share some of what I have learnt on the blog site over the next few weeks.
Well, you will find the blog content to be new and original.  My friend Rhea Drysdale from Outspoken Media has taught me a bit about blogging and SEO, enough to be dangerous, feel free to email me questions, but if you are looking for a professional, check out Rhea’s website at www.outspokenmedia.com

Arthur L. Geiger, president and CEO of Montana-based Avitus Group, was recognized by the National Association of Professional Employer Organization’s Michaeline A. Doyle award for his leadership and business practices in the growing $63 billion PEO (professional employer organization) industry.

Geiger is one of only thirteen recipients to have ever received the industry’s top honor, which was presented during the Organizations’ annual conference in Alexandria, VA in October. Doyle was one of the pioneers of the 24-year-old industry.

Having trouble attracting quality applicants? Your business’s culture may be to blame.
By Paul Sarvadi

Hiring and retaining the best talent is as tough as it’s ever been, with projections through 2012 indicating that, for the first time in U.S. history, the number of younger workers entering the labor market won’t be enough to replace those who are leaving. By 2006, one in six workers will be over the age of 55, while the 25-to-34 demographic will have shrunk by nearly 9 percent, according to a study by the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers.

Despite this workforce trend, it’s still possible to attract more talent than your company needs. Consider Southwest Airlines, which, according to one company insider, recently received more than 50,000 applications for 500 available positions! Cultivating a company culture that attracts top talent, such as Southwest’s, is just one of five best practices the top 10 percent of U.S. companies have in common. And it’s a practice your company can adapt.
