This feature of the CEO Insights monthly newsletter spotlights Members and Clients that are “Economic Champions” because of their success in adding jobs; expanding their products or services; advancing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; gaining state or national recognition, or contributing to the success of the region through their growth.

 

Engage PEO is expanding its presence in Central New York, helping small and midsized businesses navigate complex challenges involving employee benefits, human resources, payroll, compliance and risk management. Through relationships with local business leaders and community organizations, Engage brings national resources and hands-on expertise to employers throughout the region.

This local growth is part of a period of momentum for Engage. The company has achieved 131% growth over the past three years and was recently named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the 10th consecutive year. Engage’s growth has been fueled by organic expansion, strategic acquisitions, an expanding local sales team and continued investment in its people, technology and differentiated services.

“Reaching our 10th Inc. 5000 recognition is a milestone that reflects more than a decade of growth, innovation and a steadfast focus on our clients,” said Jay Starkman, founder and CEO of Engage PEO. “It also recognizes the dedication of our people, whose expertise and commitment have helped us build a company that organizations can rely on to solve complex workforce challenges.”

Engage’s service model is distinguished by its team of experienced PEO professionals and HR consultants who are licensed employment attorneys. Its comprehensive offering includes payroll and tax administration, employee benefits, employer compliance, workers’ compensation, technology, and risk management services.

As Engage grows across New York, the company remains committed to building trusted local relationships and helping Central New York employers reduce costs, manage risk, strengthen employee benefits and compete more effectively for talent in a challenging New York landscape.
