Welcome to the StaffScapes Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and Employee Leasing Blog site.

This is my First Blog for our Professional Employer Organization blog site. I thought it would be good to give you a little detail about StaffScapes, Inc. and what we do as a PEO. StaffScapes is a human resource solution center based in Westminster, Colorado.  As a PEO StaffScapes is able to offer benefits and strengths that other companies cannot.  PEOs have become a popular answer for small- and medium-sized business owners’ day-to-day human-resource issues and StaffScapes has become a leading PEO in Colorado.

In 1996 StaffScapes was founded by Jim Thibodeau & Partners with a singular goal: to offer complete, comprehensive, and cost-effective payroll and human-resources solutions.  Issues such as payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation, employee benefits, human resources management, and employee discipline/discharge are all managed by the StaffScapes team of professionals.  This allows small- to medium-sized business owners to remove the obstacles created by continual paperwork to do what they do best – foster the growth of a productive business. 

Colorado’s choice for Workers CompensationIf you have listened to a morning radio show over the past few weeks you probably have heard the Pinnacol Assurance radio add. During the add they mention that Pinnacol is the choice of Colorado when it comes to workers compensation insurance. In fact Pinnacol has over 50% of the states employers and employees covered. StaffScapes uses Pinnacol for all it’s Colorado workers compensation needs and has developed a great working relationship. If you are looking to start a business in Colorado or thinking of changing coverage to Pinnacol contact StaffScapes and we can help you acquire the coverage that your business needs.

How does reviewing past claims help my business save money with Workers Compensation Insurance?

Today StaffScapes is meeting with representatives from Pinnacol Assurance to review past claim history. This is a very valuable tool for all for all business that have had workers compensation claims. By reviewing claims a business is able to see trends that a supervisor of a department may not notice because of all the other jobs a person is doing. Many times a review will allow a company to look at history and just not at today’s work and what is going on.

When you review claims you can also target claims to learn who was using safety equipment and who was not and compare similar claims and the cost associated with it. We have a small manufacture with 50 or so employees that kept having small eye injuries. Most of the employee did not bother to where the safety glasses when cutting parts and this was the leading cause of injury. After further review we noticed many employee had been using the proper safety equipment and still employees where getting hurt. Material was flying in behind the glasses or around the edge of the traditional safety glasses. By changing the type of glasses used we where able to cut injuries down the fowling year. By not reviewing the claims with the client this type of injury could lead to a very expensive claim or much worse someone losing site because of a work related injury. 

If you have any type of ongoing injury you should be siting down with your workers compensation provider or your Professional employer Organization (PEO) and do a claims review. During this claim review you should also question open claims to be sure that all cost saving measures are being looked at.
