A little clarity goes a long way.
You do not need to have the answer before you get in touch. Here are a few places to start.
Explore our services →What is employee lifecycle support?
Employee lifecycle support brings consistency to every stage of the employee experience, from recruiting and onboarding through compensation, performance, benefits, development, and retention. Cushion can support the full lifecycle or focus on the specific areas where your organization needs additional expertise.
Can you help if we already have an HR department?
Yes. Cushion works alongside internal HR teams to provide added capacity and specialized expertise. We can support defined projects or ongoing priorities, including compensation, recruiting, performance management, employee engagement, and benefits.
How is HR outsourcing different from staffing or a PEO?
Staffing services primarily help organizations fill open positions, while HR outsourcing provides support for ongoing people practices, operational needs, or specific projects. A PEO typically operates through a co-employment arrangement. Cushion works with your organization to clearly define responsibilities, communication, and the scope of support before work begins.
How do we outsource onboarding or benefits administration?
We begin by learning how your current process works, where challenges exist, and which responsibilities you would like Cushion to manage. From there, we establish a clear plan for responsibilities, communication, and day-to-day coordination so the transition is organized and dependable.
Can you help us manage compliance without a full HR team?
Yes. Cushion can help your organization establish consistent HR practices through policy reviews, documentation support, and practical guidance. When legal interpretation is required, we coordinate with your organization and its legal advisers to help keep responsibilities clear.
Do you support supplier diversity requirements?
Cushion is a veteran-owned, minority-owned business. We can provide relevant company information to support your organization’s procurement and supplier diversity review process.
What happens after we contact you?
A member of our team will follow up to learn about your organization, understand your priorities, and discuss the type of support you are looking for. We will then outline practical next steps and determine whether Cushion is the right fit for your needs.
