Founder & Chief Executive Officer | Workforce Management Agency

For more than two decades, Mark Steiger has helped employers transform workforce management from an administrative necessity into a strategic business advantage. As the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Workforce Management Agency (WMA), he has built one of the nation’s leading independent PEO advisory firms by helping organizations make informed decisions regarding payroll administration, employee benefits, human resources, workers’ compensation, compliance, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) solutions.

Mark’s approach has always been grounded in one belief:

Every employer deserves an independent advocate whose only objective is finding the right solution—not selling one.

That philosophy has shaped both his career and the continued growth of Workforce Management Agency.

Since founding WMA in 2016, Mark has advised organizations representing more than 5,500 employees across 138 companies, with clients collectively representing over $350 million in annual payroll. His experience spans virtually every major industry, helping businesses reduce costs, improve employee benefits, strengthen compliance, and create workforce strategies that support sustainable growth.

What distinguishes Mark is not simply his industry experience, but his commitment to advancing the PEO profession itself. Beyond advising employers, he is a recognized thought leader dedicated to educating business owners, referral partners, and PEO providers on how independent advisory relationships create better outcomes for everyone involved.

His published work in PEO Insider, the official publication of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), has explored topics ranging from the strategic role of trusted advisors in the PEO selection process to practical frameworks for expanding the industry’s reach through education, stronger referral relationships, client retention, and long-term growth. In these articles, Mark advocates for empowering insurance brokers, CPAs, attorneys, and other trusted advisors with the knowledge and resources necessary to help employers confidently evaluate workforce solutions.

As a featured contributor to PEO Insider and a speaker at the NAPEO Annual Conference, Mark is recognized throughout the industry for promoting greater transparency, objective guidance, and collaborative partnerships between employers, advisors, and PEO providers. His perspective continues to influence how organizations evaluate workforce management while encouraging higher standards of education and professionalism across the industry.

Today, Mark partners with business owners, CEOs, CFOs, CPAs, insurance brokers, attorneys, and financial professionals throughout the United States, helping organizations navigate increasingly complex workforce challenges with confidence. Whether evaluating a company’s first PEO relationship or optimizing an existing workforce strategy, his focus remains the same: delivering independent, data-driven recommendations that create measurable business value.

For Mark, success is measured not by the number of solutions presented, but by the long-term success of the organizations he serves.
