Talk to an HR Expert Call (248) 638-0926As a Michigan business ourselves, we understand the state's employers because we're one of them.
Michigan small businesses face the same balancing act as everyone else — staying compliant, competing for talent, and managing a team — but often without any dedicated HR help. We fill that gap. As a locally rooted, statewide HR partner, we bring practical knowledge of Michigan's employment landscape and the hands-on support small businesses actually need.
That includes staying current with Michigan-specific requirements — from the state's minimum wage and paid medical leave obligations to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act — alongside the federal rules every employer must follow. You get a partner who knows both, and who's a short drive (or quick call) away.
We support employers throughout the region, including:
Stay aligned with Michigan and federal employment law and reduce your risk.
Recruit and onboard the right people in a competitive Michigan labor market.
Expert help with conflict, performance, and difficult employee situations.
Michigan-appropriate handbooks and policies, kept current as laws change.
Accurate, compliant payroll and tax handling for your Michigan team.
Fractional HR leadership to help your business plan and grow.
Explore our full range of outsourced HR services and industry expertise.
Michigan small businesses choose Forge HR Group because we're one of them. We understand the local labor market, the state's employment rules, and the realities of running a business here — and we pair that local insight with the full strength of a professional HR team. It's the local HR partner Michigan employers have been looking for.
Getting the right HR support in place shouldn't be complicated. Here's how we begin.
We start by understanding your team, your day-to-day challenges, and where HR is costing you time or creating risk.
You get a clear recommendation and the right level of support — nothing you don't need.
We handle the day-to-day and stay on call, so HR stops pulling you away from your business.
Across the entire state. We're based in Plymouth and serve Metro Detroit closely, but because we deliver HR virtually we support businesses from Grand Rapids to Traverse City to the Upper Peninsula.
Yes. We help Michigan employers stay compliant with state requirements — including minimum wage, paid medical leave, and the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act — alongside all applicable federal laws.
For businesses in and around Metro Detroit, in-person coordination is easy. Statewide, most of our work is handled efficiently by phone and video — but we're always genuinely reachable.
