MakingChips Seasons: Small Shop Owners Can Thrive with a PEO, 349

I'm Mike Payne, the President and Owner of Hill Manufacturing & Fabrication and the first guest host for MakingChips Seasons. When I first bought my company, I had to take on many of the HR functions. Enter Thrive PEO: Jon Scoggins came into the picture and took a lot off my plate.

So in this episode of MakingChips, Jon joins us to share what a PEO is and how it can not only benefit manufacturing leaders, but help them remain competitive in the workforce. Because if you can't attract and retain machinists, you're not MakingChips. And if you're not MakingChips, you're not making money. BAM!
