Good work starts with good people.
As your values-first HR partner, we’ll always put people over profits. No exceptions.
We don't partner with typical business owners.
So we don't offer typical HR.
Our clients are values-driven small business leaders and nonprofit organizations who refuse to cut corners when it comes to investing in their people and living on mission.
They find us when they need to simplify the complexities of business. They choose us when they find so much more than the traditional HR solutions stack.
Fully integrated HR team
From payroll and compliance to benefits and consulting, our entire team sees themselves as partners in your success. No decision is ever made in a vacuum.
Legal-informed expertise
You’re getting more than an HR advisor with Servant HR. You’re getting access to our fully licensed legal expert who understands the nuances to local, state, and federal laws.
Values first, every time
Is it possible to navigate the hardest parts of business without compromising your values? we say “absolutely YES!” and we’ll show you how every step of the way.
Our Values
Called. Compelled. Committed.
Everything we do is guided by our values.
Relationships
We build relationships with our clients so we can show up as partners, helping our clients grow themselves, their people, their business, and their impact
Servant leadership
We aren’t here to be first or to stand in the spotlight. We are here to be servant leaders to the clients we serve, equipping them to succeed – both in work and in mission.
On Mission
We’re here to impact lives – beyond the boundaries of work. Our work is just a vehicle to carry out that mission, and that’s why we intentionally partner with values-first business owners who see their own work as mission, too.
Why Servant HR?
It’s a question our founder asked himself back in 2003, too.
After getting his start in Indiana’s first-ever PEO company, Jeff Leffew felt a calling he couldn’t ignore. Pulling out a blue pen and a yellow notebook, he scribbled out a manifesto that would become the foundation for Servant HR – an unapologetic, faith-forward HR company that led with radical transparency, integrity, and an unyielding commitment to servant leadership.
Today, Servant HR has grown into one of Indiana’s leading PEOs, serving small business owners throughout the region with a comprehensive stack of HR solutions, including HR coaching and consulting, risk management, payroll, benefits administration, and retirement.
With a deep bench of expertise available to every client, Servant HR offers counsel for multi-state compliance and runs payroll in 39 states. Our team includes payroll coordinators, benefits administrators, onboarding specialists, a staff accountant, a licensed attorney, and other HR experts who work as a team for every client we serve.
Our shared and collaborative expertise ensures accuracy at every level of our clients’ businesses, but what sets us apart from our competitors in the marketplace is our values-aligned approach.
Our bold admission?
HR is just the start of what we offer.
When you partner with us, we come alongside you as advisors and invested teammates, helping you grow your people and your profits without compromising your integrity or your convictions.
Kind Words from Our Customers
Extraordinary people. Leading extraordinary companies.
“Sometimes, Servant HR’s values lead them to make different decisions that might not make sense to someone with a profit-first mentality, but that’s because they always make decisions in the best interest of the client they’re serving.”
Director of Operations, Home and Property Group
“Our company owner loves the fact that Servant HR’s morals and worldview align with what we feel as well, and as a family owned company, this is definitely a positive to us.”
President, Food Manufacturing Company
“We’ve been with Servant HR for a long time, and even as we’ve grown bigger, it would have to get really lopsided before we’d ever consider leaving – because we just know to not take that level of skill and service and responsiveness for granted.”
