    Simplified Personnel is a full-service employer infrastructure platform that operates as both a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and an Administrative Services Organization (ASO), with a specialty in reducing workers' compensation costs. His career has focused on creating workers' compensation and employer-services platforms for high-risk industries, such as those with high turnover and elevated experience modification rates. Holmes has developed programs covering more than 100,000 workers across 37 states. The company provides an integrated platform that combines workers' compensation, full-service payroll, HR support, compliance, and strategic benefits. This model replaces the need for multiple vendors with a single, coordinated team. Simplified Personnel's business model is designed to lower total labor costs for its clients, offering an average workers' compensation premium reduction of 20-35%. This is achieved through program-direct pricing, aggressive claims management, and experience-mod control that compounds savings over time. Simplified Personnel offers three main service structures: a full PEO co-employment model where it becomes the employer of record; an ASO model where the client remains the employer of record while Simplified Personnel manages the back office; and a standalone "WC Carve-Out" for workers' compensation and claims oversight only. The firm caters to industries that are often considered high-risk by traditional carriers, including healthcare staffing, light manufacturing, artisan contractors, hospitality, last-mile delivery, and janitorial services. Each client is assigned a dedicated team consisting of a Payroll Advisor, an HR Business Partner, and a Risk & Safety Consultant, ensuring expert support without relying on call centers.
