How Human Interest helps an IT consulting company empower its employees.

Share on

MAXX Potential is an IT consulting and managed services company based in Richmond, Virginia, that operates through an apprenticeship model. According to John Spauls, the company's COO, the company’s leadership team is deeply invested in early-career development for its staff. “Our main focus is to help people break into information technology careers while providing exceptional services to our clients,” he said.

In addition to providing hands-on experience and mentorship, Spauls considers retirement benefits an important component of demonstrating support to his workforce. “Offering a 401(k) plan really shows your employees that you care about their future,” said Spauls. “It's really amazing to see them light up or to see them realize the importance of saving for retirement.”

However, managing retirement benefits as a small business presents challenges. Because MAXX Potential lacks large internal human resources or compliance teams, the company wanted help with day-to-day 401(k) plan administration. The company selected the Human Interest Concierge service level, which integrates seamlessly with their payroll and provides ongoing administrative support. “It's low overhead from our perspective. It runs very seamlessly from our HRM. It's really low-touch for me,” said Spauls. “It just made sense.”

"The Concierge plan has been exceptional. It really is a seamless process, which is amazing from my perspective because it lets me focus on other important work and strategizing for my business."
