EMPO Corporation has added significant value to our organization since entering into a PEO relationship almost a year ago. Not only have they helped to bolster the breadth and quality of our employee benefits plan, but they have truly become a natural extension of our company as a human resource partner. In the past year we´ve had to deal with employee conflict resolution, employee performance issues, and multiple staff terminations—all of which were executed much more professionally and equitably for both the employee and the company than they have been in the past.

Our management team is able to focus on what matters—sales, growth, and profitability—and EMPO helps us to develop and manage our employees effectively and efficiently. What´s more, we have dramatically reduced our exposure given all of the disciplines we now have in place to help ensure that we´re managing performance in the most optimal way.

We´re grateful for our partnership with EMPO and we believe we´re a better company because of them.

Having worked with EMPO Corporation for nearly six years, we appreciate the quiet confidence that our partnership affords us. EMPO provides us a backbone that helps protect, support and strengthen our operation. Human resource responsibilities such as hiring and firing are difficult, and it is reassuring to have knowledgeable professionals ready to assist us when we need it; Our Account Manager Leslye D´Amico has always been very responsive at helping us overcome our HR challenges. Though EMPO, we are also able to offer a 401(k) program, which adds value to our organization.

I really appreciate [EMPO]. [The staff] is always professional, positive, and helpful. You help me to problem solve without any attitude. I know that is the way you are supposed to treat clients, but sometimes in the current business climate, customer service is rare.

Every person Scenic Hills deals with at EMPO, starting with the receptionist who answers the phone, is exceptional! I have never regretted signing a contract with EMPO. EMPO has made so many things in my business easier.

Dunwoody Academy hired EMPO as human resource consultants to ensure that our new school was in compliance with all its HR needs. EMPO´s services have been nothing less than over-the-top. My calls are answered immediately, and when I need personal assistance, I can usually get a representative physically in my office within a couple of days of my request. I am elated to have them as my partners assisting me with all of my HR needs and would recommend them to EVERYBODY! Thank you EMPO for your commitment to excellence.

EMPO has been providing HR, payroll and benefits to the MN Youth Intervention Programs Association for four years. As a nonprofit organization, we are able to leverage our limited resources and obtain services through EMPO that would cost us much more if we were providing these services ourselves. Having EMPO standing with us and guiding us is very comforting. They have been very responsive to our HR needs and have never let us down.

I just wanted to drop a note letting you know how well EMPO Corporation´s HR Department complements my mission here at Dakota Fence of MN. As the Business Director, I´m responsible for Information Technology, Finance and Human Resources.

Having EMPO as my virtual "back-office staff" allows me to complete my HR responsibilities thoroughly and carefully. It´s great having EMPO HR professionals available for tasks I´m unfamiliar with, rusty at, or just plain don´t have time or a desire to do myself. I request assistance with certain tasks (Affirmative Action Plan, 401(k) issues, complex benefits questions and issues, Open Enrollment, COBRA, etc.) and EMPO does as much or as little as I ask. I delegate the responsibility and move on. It´s wonderful to just hand something over and know it is being completed accurately, promptly and within the most current compliance requirements. It´s like having an entire HR department helping me do my job better and faster. I can focus on the HR responsibilities that deliver the most ROI for Dakota and those requiring personal interaction.

EMPO has empowered our business with the internal functions, services and benefits that as a small business, we did not have the resources to offer. As an employer, people problems affect the day-to-day operations of a company, and having EMPO's wealth of HR experience guiding us has not only helped protect our business, but it has also provided us with growth opportunities. From assisting us with our human resource challenges to enhancing our safety and benefits programs, EMPO has helped strengthen our operation.

General Equipment

Let's face it, the days of "AT WILL EMPLOYMENT" are long gone. Our HR consultant´s expertise has been invaluable in helping us navigate the pitfalls of today's complex HR legal system. EMPO has been a fantastic resource for our small business. Without having enough human capital to warrant the costs of an in-house HR Department, EMPO has been the perfect solution to manage our human resource needs and to help protect our business. EMPO´s team is always right on top of our needs and requests.
