Dedicated HR business partners with deep compliance expertise
Our take
Insperity is our recommendation for companies that want a real HR partner, not just a software platform. Their dedicated HR business partner model means you get actual humans who know your business, and they have the regional-office footprint to back it up. The premium price is justified if your team genuinely needs that level of HR support. We watch the 2026 renewals closely after Q4 2025's elevated claims experience; we push hard on contract exit terms when negotiating Insperity deals.
