The ExtensisHR Advantage for Texas Brokers

Quick look: As the Texas broker market grows more competitive, clients are increasingly seeking expert guidance to elevate their human resource strategies. In this blog, learn how ExtensisHR’s tailored HR services and support help brokers expand their offerings and ultimately grow their book.

The state’s booming business landscape gives Texas brokers more opportunities to increase their client base. Still, brokers must deliver top-notch HR solutions and innovative strategies to stand out from the competition.

ExtensisHR is here to support you. As a professional employer organization (PEO), we do more than understand your broker goals; we tailor our services to help your clients navigate the complexities of HR, all while fueling your success as a trusted advisor. Here’s how Texas brokers like you benefit from our broker-friendly approach:

#1: We work with you, not against you

PEOs are known for helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) access world-class HR services, benefits, and compliance support, contributing to a 27% ROI rate and a 50% less likely chance to go out of business.

A misconception often follows this fact: PEOs compete with brokers for the same clients. That’s not the case with ExtensisHR. Our broker-friendly approach centers on safeguarding your book of business while supporting your growth. We don’t recognize Broker of Record letters, meaning your client relationships remain fully protected and you continue to earn commissions for the life of the client.

In addition to lucrative broker commissions, our broker-friendly approach also includes access to a dedicated service team, healthcare renewal assistance, and direct communication with our leadership team.

#2: Your clients receive Fortune 500-level employee benefits

Employee benefits remain one of the most critical drivers of retention for today’s workforce. In fact, 54% of employees say they stay with their current employer because of their benefits package. But for many SMBs, offering competitive benefits while staying within budget can be a challenge, one that 56% of business owners struggle to overcome.

Thanks to ExtensisHR’s large group pricing, your clients gain access to tailored health and wellness benefits at more cost-effective rates than pursuing coverage on their own. Our leading network of providers goes beyond standard medical, vision, and dental plans; we help brokers offer supplemental benefits like 401(k) retirement plans, disability and life insurance, cancer care support, and pet insurance.

All benefits packages are also fully ACA-compliant, giving clients the healthcare and wellness perks they want while ensuring coverage adheres to federal, state, and local regulations.

#3: Expert benefits management and enrollment support

As a Texas broker, managing a diverse portfolio of clients means juggling countless benefits plans, enrollment timelines, and employee questions. ExtensisHR simplifies that process.

Our dedicated team takes the lead on benefits management and enrollment support, giving your clients and their employees a smooth, stress-free experience. We provide personalized guidance to help worksite employees (WSEs) understand their coverage options, navigate plan details, and make confident, informed choices during enrollment.

#4: Proven customer satisfaction

Many big-box PEOs rely on call centers, chatbots, and ticketing systems to provide customer service. ExtensisHR’s elite service model is different; your clients receive white-glove support with an average 10-second response time from a team that knows your clients by name and understands their business.

Each client is backed by a dedicated support network including an HR Manager, Payroll Specialist, and Implementation Manager. An added layer of assistance is available from our Employee Solution Center (ESC), which boasts a 95% same-day resolution rate.

Our Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 86, nearly double the industry average, proves our clients consistently rank us as a high-performing partner who delivers excellent customer service.

#5: Simplified compliance for Texas businesses

Employment laws are constantly evolving, and for Texas SMBs, navigating compliance means understanding both federal mandates and state-specific regulations, from the Pay Day Law to workers’ compensation requirements.

ExtensisHR’s compliance experts help protect Texas brokers and clients by keeping them informed and prepared. We provide ongoing guidance on critical federal standards like COBRA, HIPAA, and FMLA, while also aligning with Texas-specific obligations, including W-4 vs. I-9 form rules, mandatory workplace training, and workers’ comp claim reporting.

#6: Total transparency every step of the way

Brokers know how frustrating it can be to encounter unexpected fees or sudden pricing changes. These experiences highlight how important transparency is when choosing a trusted PEO partner.

With ExtensisHR, brokers can count on clear, upfront communication about our services, pricing, and capabilities from day one. Whether through personal consultations or live demos, there are no surprises: just straightforward support for you and your clients.

#7: Expanded HR solutions to meet every client need

We believe in delivering customized, high-quality HR solutions, not one-size-fits-all services. That’s why brokers who partner with us gain access to more than our PEO solution.

Our diverse suite of solutions help you meet the needs of a wide range of clients:

• SchoolCloud™’s technology platform and solution are designed for charter and private schools, helping streamline HR operations and minimize staff admin tasks.

• PEO Premier® is an enhanced version of our PEO solution that provides additional support and resources for businesses that need an extra level of care. This includes exclusive perks like access to a single point of contact Premier Account Manager, enhanced executive-level group life insurance coverage, increased limits on long-term disability coverage, international benefits options, and an applicant tracking system.

• HRO (human resource outsourcing) is for clients that have graduated from a PEO model or those who may only want to outsource certain parts of their HR function like payroll or benefits administration, without entering into a co-employment relationship.

By offering flexible HR solutions, we help Texas brokers reach more client types, close more deals with new prospects, and accommodate current clients’ shifting business needs.

#8: Complimentary recruiting support for your clients

Attracting and retaining top talent is essential for business success, but finding qualified candidates remains one of the biggest challenges for employers, with seven out of 10 employers struggling to fill open roles. A strong recruiting strategy is critical to maintaining a competitive edge. And with ExtensisHR, your clients get the support they need, at no additional cost.

Our PEO solution includes complimentary recruiting services to help your clients build high-performing teams, including:

• Job advertisement creation
• Offer letter consultations
• Skills assessments
• Interview resources
• Salary benchmarking

This value-added service helps your clients enhance their hiring process, grow their workforce, and achieve their business goals, all while you continue delivering expert solutions that set your brokerage apart.

#9: Proven experience across 20+ industries

From employer-friendly laws to expanding talent pools, it’s no wonder small businesses make up 99.8% of the Texas market. This growth is fueling demand across key industries like manufacturing, professional services, wholesale, and oil and gas. For brokers, that means success depends on offering solutions tailored to each client’s industry needs and challenges.

ExtensisHR has in-depth experience working with clients across 20+ industries. This diverse industry knowledge gives your clients a competitive advantage, whether they’re navigating complex regulations, building competitive benefits packages, or streamlining workforce operations. Our cross-industry expertise allows us to identify best practices, spot emerging trends, and apply proven strategies that help businesses of all types stay compliant, productive, and positioned for growth.
