What Is A Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is an outsourced human resources services provider that allows you to manage your day-to-day business while giving your employees access to benefits and professional HR expertise.

Acadia HR’s PEO is not a temporary staffing service or contract staff provider. We also don’t manage your staff or get in your way. Our PEO is an end-to-end portfolio of business process solutions that are customized to your company’s needs.

While some professional employer organizations make you feel like a number, Acadia HR offers a higher level of personalized service to give you the quality and convenience you deserve. We’re there when you need us most.

A Legacy in Flip Flops

The music world recently lost a legend and it hit me particularly hard.  Having once performed on stage with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band, I consider myself to be one of his biggest fans – a true “Parrot Head” – Hawaiian shirt, flip-flops, and all.  In the days that followed his passing, his…

The Purpose in Mission and Vision Statements

An abridged version of the parable of bricklayers goes something like this: Three masons busily setting bricks to rebuild London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral were asked what they were doing. The first said, “I’m laying bricks.” The second said, “I’m building this wall so I can feed my family.” The third said proudly, “I’m building a…

The Hybrid Work Model

Even before COVID-19, employees increasingly valued flexibility in their weekly work routines.  According to a Flexjobs survey in 2019, only 16% of respondents were looking for a job that offered flexible work.  Compare that to a recent GoodHire survey of those working from home since the start of the pandemic where 74% would need some…

Open Letter to a Future Employee

Whether you’re a 16 year-old high school student working your first job or a 20 year-old living at home because college was too expensive or too time consuming, you’ve probably been told by family, friends, and social media that success in employment comes with a college degree.  And statistically, they are correct.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Bachelor’s degree recipients earn 49% more than those with some college or no degree…
