MakeOffices Members Receive Access to Premiere Medical Benefit Plans, Risk Mitigation, and Compliance Support

Washington, DC  – MakeOffices, creator of coworking communities where the workplace meets the sharing economy, announced today its partnership with TriNet, a leading bundled human resources (HR) solution provider and trusted advisor to thousands of small and midsize companies in almost every industry. MakeOffices’ members will receive access to TriNet’s products that provide HR guidance, including assistance with risk mitigation, Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance support, a variety of top-tier, ACA- compliant benefit plans, payroll and tax administration, and workers’ compensation.

“MakeOffices’ members already reap the rewards of coworking through cost savings, shared amenities, increased productivity, and greater collaboration and networking. Now they can also benefit from shared access to affordable HR support so they can focus on getting their work done,” notes MakeOffices CEO, Raymond Rahbar.

TriNet’s services are delivered by an expert team of HR professionals and managed through a cloud-based technology platform that enables companies to efficiently conduct their HR transactions anytime and anywhere. TriNet’s HR products are industry-specific and contain competitive, top-tier benefits packages that rival even the largest corporations. TriNet will help MakeOffices member organizations:

·Contain rising employee benefits costs – As the “employer of record” for more than 12,000 companies and 315,000 employees, TriNet has access to medical benefit plans that are usually unavailable to small and midsize companies, and TriNet’s large pool ensures consistency around annual renewal increases.
·Create efficiency around HR tasks – Because companies can transfer time-consuming HR tasks to TriNet, they have more time to focus on making core business decisions.
·Mitigate liability and employer risk – TriNet provides employment law compliance support. Its Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) helps protect companies against wrongful termination suits, sexual harassment claims, age discrimination claims, and other employer risks.

“Robust HR and benefits packages are increasingly a factor for hiring and retaining the best employees. Our members include startups and small business owners who now have another way to attract and reward their employees that other companies their size may not be able to provide,” adds Rahbar.


MakeOffices members are part of a community of movers and shakers that take advantage of a shared environment and connect through both regular networking events and shared onsite amenities. By providing office infrastructure and all-inclusive amenities ­– including high-speed internet and 24/7 access – for a low monthly rate, members can save money and spend time growing their businesses. MakeOffices offers collaborative environments in which entrepreneurs can grow their companies rapidly without fear of running out of desks. The MakeOffices model appeals to organizations seeking an alternative to traditional office leases and spaces, as well as the individuals and smaller organizations that are a critical backbone of every local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
