Who We Are


Lever1 is a Kansas City-based professional employer organization (PEO) and a Helpside company, providing a multitude of resources for businesses across the country. Integrated services enable business owners to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, payroll, employee benefits and workers’ compensation.

PEO clients are able to focus on their most pressing business operation in order to maintain and grow their bottom line. It is the goal of Lever1 to partner with other businesses to provide employer solutions to fit small and midsized business needs. Lever1’s biggest measurement of achievement is the growth and success of its clients. The combination with Helpside brings together two established regional PEOs, expanding Lever1’s geographic reach, technology and employee-benefit capabilities while maintaining Lever1’s local leadership. Lever1 clients now gain access to Helpside’s purpose built technology platform and digital interface for employers and employees, designed to simplify access to payroll, benefits, HR information and other workforce-management resources.
