When Brian Fayak founded Nextep in Norman nearly 30 years ago, his goal was to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed by taking the complexity out of managing people. Today, that vision has grown into one of the nation’s leading professional employer organizations (PEO), serving companies across the country while remaining proudly headquartered in Oklahoma.
Under Brian’s leadership, Nextep has built a reputation for combining innovative technology with personalized service. As a PEO, the company becomes the employer of record for a business’s payroll, employee benefits, human resources, compliance and risk management while the business owner retains total control over daily operations.
As workplace needs continue to evolve, Nextep’s Elevate platform and its newest enhancement, Elevate Edge, offer employers and employees a seamless, all-in-one experience for managing HR, payroll, benefits, and workplace resources, reaffirming its dedication to tailored support.
Growth has never come at the expense of relationships. Brian has long believed that technology should enhance, not replace, the personal connections that help businesses thrive. This philosophy has shaped Nextep’s culture and earned the company national recognition, including consecutive “ClearlyRated Best of HR Services” award designations, a spot on Fortune’s Best Workplaces, and the Oklahoma Legislature’s inaugural “Beacon Award” for community leadership through its partnership with the “Beacon Project.”
As Nextep prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Brian remains dedicated to building a company rooted in the core values of integrity, innovation, and service, fostering trust and confidence among clients and partners. From its headquarters in Norman to clients across the United States, Nextep continues to demonstrate that an Oklahoma company can make a meaningful national impact while staying true to its roots.
Whether serving a startup or an established organization, Brian Fayak and the Nextep team remain focused on helping businesses build stronger workplaces, empowering employees, and creating opportunities for long-term success.
