In this special episode of HR We Have a Problem, Cliff Stevenson steps out of the studio and takes you to NAPEO 2026 in Marco Island, Florida, the annual conference of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations. There's no single guest this time, just unfiltered hallway and show-floor conversations with the people building, running and partnering with PEOs.
Cliff explores the tipping point small businesses hit when DIY HR stops working, and why the PEO value proposition is shifting from "save money" to "make money." He also looks at the "rising tide lifts all boats" culture where competitors help each other grow, and how AI and shorter job tenures are changing what HR tech users need. Along the way, you'll get a sneak peek at what Sapient Insights Group's upcoming HR Systems Survey is revealing about PEO growth.
We want to hear from you. Have you hit that "I need help" moment in your business? Leave a comment or email Cliff directly at cliff@sapientinsights.com.
