Insperity (formerly Administaff) entered 2017 as a mid-market-focused Professional Employer Organization (PEO) serving approximately 183,000 average paid worksite employees (WSEEs) across roughly 9,500 client companies. Full-year 2017 revenues were $3.30 billion (Insperity FY2017 Earnings Release). The PEO model bundles payroll, benefits, workers' compensation, HR administration, and employment compliance into a single co-employment arrangement. Despite the model's inherent stickiness — client retention consistently above 80% — Insperity faced a growth challenge: PEO penetration in the U.S. was approximately 15–17% of eligible small and mid-sized businesses, leaving substantial whitespace. Gross profit per WSEE per month was approximately $261 ($572.7M gross profit / 183,000 WSEEs / 12 months; FY2017 Earnings Release), and adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month stood at a then-record $81 (FY2017 Earnings Release).

Adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month similarly declined from $100 (FY2022) to $94 (FY2023). The 2023 results reflect a challenging benefit cost environment, not a reversal of the long-term trend.
