BLAME IT ALL ON OUR ROOTS
Born in Oklahoma.
Built for Business.
Thrive PEO was founded in Tulsa — a city built by resilient entrepreneurs and grounded in values like trust, grit, and collaboration. That spirit runs deep in everything we do. We're proud to be born in a place where business is still personal, a handshake still means something, and doing things the right way isn’t optional — it’s expected. Our approach reflects those same Oklahoma values, offering practical solutions with genuine heart and purpose.
​
Today, we bring that mindset to growing businesses across the state and beyond. We act as a fully integrated HR partner, giving small and mid-sized companies access to tools, expertise, and benefits typically reserved for the big players. With Thrive, you get full-service HR, payroll, benefits, compliance, and risk support — all wrapped in a relationship-first mindset. It’s scalable, strategic, and refreshingly human. And yes, we answer the phone when you call.
OUR MISSION
We exist to bring the right people and technology together to challenge outdated HR models and deliver solutions that actually make a difference. Whether we’re helping a company scale, improving someone’s workday, or streamlining payroll behind the scenes — everything we do is designed to have a meaningful impact on your business, your people, and your future.
WHY WE THRIVE
Understanding
our purpose
At Thrive, we see HR not as a cost center, but as a growth engine. We believe in the power of great people practices — and we believe that technology should enhance relationships, not replace them. That’s why we combine modern, intuitive platforms with real-life support from experts who know your name and your business. We streamline the process, automate what we can, and keep it all grounded in real human connection.
​
This is what makes “Call HR” mean something different here. When our clients call us, they don’t get routed through endless portals or buried in jargon. They get answers. They get advice. They get a team that’s in it with them — not just watching from the sidelines. HR should feel empowering, not exhausting. That’s the standard we set, and the experience we deliver.
OUR VALUES
We believe in quality over scope & scale
Pounding your chest as an 800lb PEO gorilla is cool and all, but we believe the quality of work we do, coupled with our firm commitment to being meaningfully engaged with the clients we serve is more critical than scope or scale. In other words, we would rather be great at a few tasks where we live and breathe than being mediocre at many in all 50 states via a toll-free number.
OUR CULTURE
Celebrating
our people.
At Thrive, culture isn't a buzzword — it's the energy behind everything we do. We’re a team of professionals who actually like working together, and we show up every day ready to solve problems, crack jokes, chase ideas, and support each other. Sure, we’ve got ping-pong tables, office dogs, and the occasional Pac-Man battle. But the real vibe comes from how deeply we care — about each other, about our clients, and about doing our work with excellence.
​
We believe that if we create a workplace where people feel valued, energized, and respected, great things happen. And that belief spills into every client relationship. We bring that same enthusiasm and dedication to the businesses we support, because we know that culture isn’t just for the breakroom — it’s a strategic advantage when it’s done right.
Leadership team
Our leadership team brings deep HR expertise and a whole lot of Oklahoma pride. They’re approachable, driven, and passionate about building a company that makes work better — for clients, for employees, and for the community we call home.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
Let's not forget
about Lucy
Lucy joined the Thrive team from the Oklahoma Alliance for Animals — and instantly became the heart of our office. She’s got beds in every corner, snacks hidden like treasure, and a talent for brightening even the busiest days.
​
She reminds us what kindness looks like in action — and why caring for others, human or furry, is always good business.
