Dear Modern HR Friends,

I am often asked by others to describe what distinguishes Modern HR from other Human Resource providers. Although there is much to share, my comments always center on our exceptional people. Our employees consistently practice our 12 Standards of Excellence. These standards apply not only to our dealings with our valued clients, but also to the employees of our clients and to each other. What makes these standards really work is that they were developed and implemented by nominated members of the Modern HR family and are embraced by all of us. I am so proud or our talent.

We are 34 years strong and have served thousands of businesses, yet we proudly still cherish our one-on-one customer relationships. I believe that this approach to conducting business is the key to our success.

We recognize the importance of selecting the right business partner and we are confident that you will make the right choice with Modern HR. I invite your to get to know us better and thank you for your time and interest. Please feel free to contact me or any of our business consultants to discuss how we can help support your business and assist you with your future growth.

1. Self-Sourcing Can Save Up to 25%

PEO is the most popular model that we offer which provides for a bundled solution. The client remains the employer and controls all aspects of the day-to-day operations . Through the PEO partnership the client gains access to various insurance products and we can often offer these products for less than they would pay on their own. Clients are covered under Modern HR’s umbrella for Employment Practices Liability Insurance policy and gain access to a team of experts that service all aspects of Human Resources including: assistance with labor law compliance, training, payroll processing, benefits administration, safety and recruiting. This model may provide for cost savings in operating expenses and insurance costs.

2. Transparent Costs with Our Employer Ecosystem​
Modern HR suggests that companies aggregate workforce employment under one (or at most) a handful of companies. The Modern HR Employer Ecosystem is built on a “transparent” cost model with which, unlike traditional staffing companies, our employer partners stop charging for statutory employer costs when workers hit their tax limits. This means that the cost of utilizing temp workers actually reduces over time. Most staffing companies keep charging these taxes and fees, using them as hidden-profit centers. Everything is established upfront so forecasting is transparent, measurable, and trackable. To the right is a table that shows the tax limits for unemployment in certain states. Once workers engaged through the Modern HR platform reach this amount of payroll, state unemployment tax costs stop.
3. Contract Recruiters and Payrolling Markups​
For companies who need additional resources to recruit workers beyond their internal team, Modern HR can provide contract recruiting specialists. These recruiters work with clients on an hourly or project basis and can be based onsite or offsite depending on the needs of each client. Once workers are sourced they can be payrolled by the Modern HR Employer Ecosystem at lower payrolling markups.
4. Pre-Negotiated Recruiter Rates​
When necessary, Modern HR clients can tap into The Global Staffing Loop, Modern HR’s worldwide network of independent recruiters and staffing companies who work at economical, pre-negotiated rates for Modern HR clients.
1. Consolidate Employment through our Employer Ecosystem
The Modern HR Employer Ecosystem is built on a “transparent cost model”, and unlike traditional staffing companies, our employer partners stop charging certain fees when temp/contract employees hit their taxable limit. This means that the cost of utilizing temp workers actually reduces over time. Most staffing companies keep charging these taxes and fees, using them as hidden-profit centers. Everything is established upfront so forecasting is transparent, measurable, and trackable.
2. Workforce Management Through a Simple System
Modern HR enables companies to source, screen, test/check, onboard, engage and manage workers on one easy to use cloud-based platform. Worker and candidate tasks are managed from within the same system and can be initiated at the touch of a button – reducing margin of error that comes from using multiple systems and vendors.
3. Proving Compliance
Compliance is key, but being able to PROVE compliance is just as important! Modern HR has dynamic reporting capabilities that will help clients keep up to speed with their compliance obligations.
1. Speed and Quality
Modern HR can cut the time-to-engage workers by up to half by helping FMC create its own talent pool(s), auto-distributing job descriptions to their preferred recruiters and, if necessary by distributing the jobs to our Global Staffing Loop of staffing companies and recruiters.
2. Efficient Communication Platform
Automation of communication is a key feature of Modern HR. We can automate communication with candidates and recruiters through our platform. This reduces “noise” caused by calls from eager candidates for jobs and recruiters wanting to sell their candidates – a common problem for HR/Finance.
3. In the Cloud Workflow
Modern HR is mobile and social, allowing clients to access the system on the move, on any device, from anywhere in the world. This can allow FMC to recruit, communicate with the candidates, send and sign all necessary starting paperwork, etc. right from your phone or tablet.
4. Centralized Hiring Process
Clients can source, screen, engage and manage workers (including time-tracking, credentials management, scheduling) all from one platform, simplifying how the company and hiring managers utilize this workforce.
5. Comprehensive Solutions Ecosystem
Modern HR’s employment and workforce solutions partners are pre-vetted and provide a large number of customizable workforce management features for FMC. See Appendix B for a complete list.
1. Robust Workforce Customization

Modern HR has a highly customizable platform that “out of the box” can be set-up and ready to go within days. However, Modern HR can provide a dedicated Account Manager to work with you on adapting the Platform’s workflow and service features to meet FMC’s specific requirements. Please see Appendix B for a full menu of potential workforce features.

2. Adaptable Support Models
Modern HR can provide on-site or virtual recruiting and workforce management support to FMC, allowing the company to minimize co-employment risk while also helping to ensure that compliance and safety guidelines are met.
1. Real-time Deep Reporting and Metrics

PeopleLoop can provide reports, easy to view dashboards and a wealth of information regarding FMC’s workforce. Using this information, FMC can fine-tune its recruitment spend, skills gaps, identify productive and unproductive resources and much, much more.

2. Connected Network

Modern HR connects client with candidates, recruiters, employers and workforce management tools and services on one platform. This makes communication quicker and easier which in turn, helps speed up the process of finding and engaging the right talent at the right time.
