through 27, 2023, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize
professional employer organizations for their contributions to
businesses across the United States; and
WHEREAS, The national professional employer organization
(PEO) industry provides payroll and human resources services to

WHEREAS, Professional employer organizations help companies
improve productivity and profitability, expand their reach, and
achieve their goals; and

offer their employees retirement plans, health, dental, and life
insurance, dependent care, and other important benefits; and

Professional Employer Organizations, businesses that partnered
with a PEO during the pandemic were nearly 60 percent less likely to
permanently close; and

asset to the businesses they serve, and it is a pleasure to join in
honoring these groups for their outstanding work; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 21 through 27, 2023, as National
PEO Week and extend to all those involved in the professional
employer organization industry sincere best wishes for the future.
