Fostering a highly innovative small business or start-up can require a visionary founder, a great product, and substantial investment, but it is predicated on having the right workforce supporting it with top talent and expertise to drive continued success. However, when most entrepreneurs start their businesses, they don’t envision being bogged down in the HR administrative details. They want to remain hyper-focused on advancing their products and achieving growth milestones.
At Calibre Scientific, CEO Ben Travis needed a solution to alleviate the burden of HR and payroll, allowing him to focus on his business strategy and execution. His company was growing, and it needed help to maintain this growth trajectory without the people side of the business falling off the rails. For firms like his that acquire and manage multiple companies, people-side dynamics can be overlooked and underestimated until the difficulties start to bubble to the surface.
With employment trends beginning to reveal that productivity, revenue, retention, and innovation are highest amongst firms that leverage a talent-driven approach to human capital management, offering a modern and engaging employee experience can directly correlate to improved organizational performance and lower employment churn, costs, and risks.

This is where Insperity came into the picture. “Insperity was the easy button,” Travis affirmed. “Everything had to be turned on tomorrow and work.” This immediate relief from administrative burden gave Travis and his team a profound sense of reassurance.
