Boston, MA March 19, 2024 – Gradient AI, a leading enterprise software provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the insurance industry, today announced successful results of the implementation of its SAIL AI Solution by PrestigePEO, one of the nation’s largest professional employer organizations (PEO).

SAIL provides comprehensive insights into group health risks, enabling data-driven decision-making, smarter underwriting, and more accurate pricing strategies. In PrestigePEO’s case, which offers large-company employee benefits and HR services to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), SAIL enables the company to identify both good risk and bad risk among SMB populations covered under its umbrella of services and streamline group insurance selection processes while supporting its growth strategy.

Before adopting SAIL, PrestigePEO faced challenges in acquiring comprehensive information about the risk profiles of various groups, hindering its ability to make informed underwriting decisions for group health insurance for the SMBs it serves.

Gradient AI’s SAIL Solution has significantly enhanced PrestigePEO’s underwriting process. By harnessing SAIL’s advanced machine learning capabilities and vast de-identified data sources, PrestigePEO now possesses a comprehensive understanding of group risk profiles. This knowledge empowers its underwriters to make data-driven decisions, leading to more accurate pricing and improved risk management strategies.

Andrew Lubash, PrestigePEO founder and CEO, said, “The knowledge derived from SAIL enables PrestigePEO to strategically determine pricing for plans tailored for SMBs. This AI solution recognizes different risk factors, providing guidance on adopting a more assertive pricing approach during low-risk scenarios and when to reconsider or adjust pricing to accommodate higher risks. This aids in gaining a deeper understanding of the marketplace dynamics and the businesses we engage with, ultimately enhancing our decision-making process.”

“SAIL has significantly improved PrestigePEO’s underwriting process,” said Stan Smith, founder and CEO of Gradient AI. “By providing actionable insights into group risk profiles, SAIL enables PrestigePEO to make better and more informed decisions, ultimately leading to improved loss ratios and enhanced profitability.”

Melville, NY, May 21, 2023 – PrestigePEO, one of the nation’s leading professional employer organizations (PEOs), announced today it is joining hundreds of other PEOs in celebrating the inaugural National PEO Week May 21-27, 2023. National PEO Week, sponsored by the National Association of PEOs (NAPEO), recognizes the industry’s important contributions to the U.S. economy through its support of small and mid-size businesses (SMBs).

PEOs provide SMBs with a broad range of support services, including, but not limited to, employee benefits, compliance assistance, human resources (HR) support, and payroll administration. Over the past decade, the PEO industry has quadrupled as an increasing number of businesses turn to PEOs for access to a full suite of employee benefits that aid in managing business expenses and help increase profitability.

By engaging with a PEO, SMBs are better positioned to remain focused on the core mission and growth of their businesses. There are four million employees served by 175,000 PEOs today. Approximately 15 percent of all employers with 10 to 100 employees use PEOs to better manage and support their businesses. As a part of their services to SMBs and their employees, PEOs also provide access to certified HR professionals. Through this service, PEOs help small businesses comply with myriad federal, state, and local employment laws.

Studies by noted economists Laurie Bassi and Dan McMurrer showed that businesses that engage with a PEO grow 7 -9 percent faster, have a 10 – 14 percent lower employee turnover, and are 50 percent less likely to go out of business.

“The daily support we provide to SMBs affords them and their employees access to a broad range of high-quality benefits and services that would otherwise be inaccessible. Partnering with a PEO like PrestigePEO enables our SMB clients to leverage the scope and size of the overall pool of businesses we serve,” said Andrew Lubash, PrestigePEO founder, chief executive officer, and leadership council chair at NAPEO.

“National PEO Week is a time to recognize the importance of PEOs and their SMB clients. It’s a chance for us to pay homage to our growing client base, the broker partners who represent PrestigePEO’s services in the marketplace, and our hard-working employees. We appreciate the efforts of all stakeholders involved in the PEO industry, as their contributions are truly making a difference for SMBs and the important role they play in the U.S. economy,” Lubash concluded.

PEOs can be particularly key to the success of their clients during challenging times. Looking back at the dark days of the COVID-19 pandemic, PEOs helped ensure that businesses stayed afloat by assisting them with critical actions like securing PPP loans and applying for loan forgiveness, managing employee leave, and applying for available tax credits. In fact, during the pandemic, businesses that partnered with a PEO were nearly 60 percent less likely to have permanently closed than those that did not use a PEO.

About National PEO Week

National PEO Week has been officially recognized in the federal Congressional Record and by the National Day organization, which approves only 30 requests for official designations out of the 25,000 applications it receives yearly. It will be celebrated the third week in May annually. For more information on the PEO industry and National PEO Week, visit www.PEOWeek.com.
