Foxton Wren is a Professional Employer Organisation (PEOs) which engineers all necessary people aspects within a company - in order to help the company grow and achieve its commercial objectives. So, contrary to sole providers in pensions, HR, payroll, skills development etc. a PEO maps the entire business to design a tailored and joined–up people strategy that focuses upon building business value. Small- and medium-sized businesses (up to 3000 staff) have the most to gain through working with a PEO. This is because small- and medium-sized businesses can focus on managing the core business and avoid having to be experts in the people and legal matters. PEOs operate under a unique co-employment model, where your employees will legally appear on a PEO’s books, but remain under your control. This model alleviates risk from your company/brand (see vicarious liability) but also allows for PEOs to leverage major health benefits plans with the best providers, access the very best software and hire the top experts. Each of these gains is then offered back to the clients. In the United States, PEOs employ 3.7 million worksite employees and have annual wages around $176 billion. These numbers are only expected to increase in the coming years, offering small businesses better benefits options and more HR resources. The concept is still very new to the UK. Foxton Wren is the UK’s leading PEO, we work with employers like you to mitigate against risks and create more profit from employees. We are currently servicing over 6000 staff with an aggregate payroll of ~£100m pa
