“We had one year when we tried to do everything on our own and
that just sucked. Just from the very beginning, shopping for insurance was just
a miserable, miserable experience, only topped by getting the insurance and
having to deal with the insurance company as a very small company. It was
eye-opening. Nobody has any complaints about health insurance now, because
we’re part of a large company now. Dealing with the 401K on our own, disability
insurance, some life insurance components—it was not helping us grow,” said
Ziliak. “I could not do it nearly as well as a PEO organization could do. The
employees are thrilled.”
In addition, xkzero workers have access to discounted movie
tickets and other perks typically associated with much larger organizations.
“We couldn’t offer those benefits on our own,” Ziliak said.
While smaller solution providers may never have the financial
wherewithal to compete with the fantastical benefits provided by Facebook, Google,
and others, with careful planning and nurturing channel organizations can
create a culture of empowerment, professional development, and caring that
allows employees to flourish and grow—benefiting employer and employee for
years to come.
