The holiday season serves as a reminder to reflect on all of the things we have to be thankful for each year.

An Inside Look At Our Customer: Justworks

Judson Kleinman September 24, 2019

About the Client Justworks simplifies the complexities of running a business by providing payroll, benefits, HR and compliance services all in one place. The Challenge Initially, Justworks had only been taking advantage of Corporate Essentials’ locally roasted coffee program while handling the purchasing of snacks and other office supplies directly through individual vendors themselves. This process was time-consuming, management-heavy and inherently problematic.
