• Collaborate with BBSI's internal experts in Risk & Safety, Payroll, Human Resources, Workers' Compensation, and Employment Compliance to deliver comprehensive business solutions.
• Monitor client performance and proactively recommend solutions that improve operational efficiency and business outcomes.
• Support client retention and identify opportunities to expand partnerships through value-added consulting.
