double-digit worksite employee growth was the result of strong new client sales driven by
an increase in the number of trained Business Performance Advisors, a continuing high
level of client retention, and an improvement in the net hiring of worksite employees by
our client base. Worksite employees paid from new sales increased 23% over the first
quarter of 2017 on a 15% increase in the average number of trained Business Performance
Advisors. Client attrition totaled only 8% during the heavy first quarter client renewal
period, an improvement over the first quarter of 2017." In this regard, using both
quantitative and qualitative factors, please disclose specifically how you were able to
generate increases in worksite employees. Disclose whether you believe that you can
sustain the growth in worksite employees in the future. Refer to Item 303 of Regulation
S-K and the Commission’s Guidance Regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, SEC Release No. 33-8350.
