About S2 HR Solutions

S2 HR Solutions is the Florida-licensed entity group operating as Engage PEO — a Hollywood, Florida-based IRS CPEO certified and ESAC accredited Professional Employer Organization founded in 2011. S2 HR Solutions entities (S2 HR Solutions 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D) hold Florida employee leasing company group licenses and do business as Engage PEO, the parent operating brand. Engage PEO, the operating company behind S2 HR Solutions, has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies nine times since 2016 and holds fewer than 3% of PEOs with dual CPEO and ESAC accreditations.
