Workday Inc. and Insperity Inc. announced the general availability of the Insperity HRScale solution, a joint offering that blends Insperity’s professional employer organization (PEO) model with Workday’s Human Capital Management (HCM) suite. The platform delivers payroll, benefits, compliance, and hiring services in a single, cloud‑based interface, targeting small and mid‑sized businesses (SMBs) that traditionally lack dedicated HR teams.
The partnership is a strategic move for Workday, which has been extending its enterprise‑grade technology into the mid‑market through initiatives such as Workday Go. By integrating with Insperity’s established PEO services, Workday can offer SMBs a ready‑to‑deploy solution that combines enterprise‑grade functionality with personalized HR support, potentially accelerating revenue growth in a segment that represents a large share of the U.S. workforce.
Insperity’s CEO Paul Sarvadi said, "Growing businesses shouldn't have to choose between personalized HR support and the power of enterprise‑grade technology. With Insperity HRScale, we're bringing together best‑in‑class Workday technology and Insperity's full‑service HR expertise in one unified solution, combining the best of both companies. We believe this new solution allows businesses to move faster and reduce cost, complexity and risk – improving likelihood, degree and speed of success."
Workday’s president and chief commercial officer Rob Enslin noted that the solution "addresses operational pressures faced by small and midsized businesses managing payroll, benefits, compliance, and hiring without dedicated HR teams." The platform includes Workday HCM, U.S. payroll, absence management, and time tracking, and offers managed payroll services, employee benefits through Insperity‑sponsored plans, and leave administration. Its preconfigured setup enables faster deployment and simpler onboarding for SMBs.
The launch positions Workday beyond its traditional enterprise focus, challenging competitors such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 in the mid‑market. For Insperity, the partnership enhances its technological capabilities and strengthens its competitive position by adding Workday’s robust HCM suite to its service portfolio. Together, the companies aim to capture a growing demand for integrated HR solutions that combine technology, compliance expertise, and cost efficiency.
The HRScale solution reflects Workday’s broader AI strategy, which seeks to embed artificial intelligence across its HR, finance, and planning platforms. By leveraging AI capabilities, the joint offering can provide SMBs with predictive insights and automated workflows, further differentiating it from other mid‑market HR platforms.
Overall, the announcement signals a significant expansion of Workday’s addressable market and a new revenue stream for both companies, underscoring their commitment to serving the evolving needs of small and mid‑sized businesses.
