Welcome to The Employers' Association

TEA is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1939 to provide West Michigan businesses with Human Resource-related information and solutions. We are not an employment agency, not about billable hours, invoices or on-going engagements, and not an “outside group” trying to tell you how to run your company. The Association relies on long-term relationships and business partnerships – built by professional staff having experience within the West Michigan region - to make your operation both more competitive and sustainable within our ever-changing global market.

You want to create the best workplace possible and we can help you. The choices we make, and the council we keep, often crystallize our destiny. As we strive to make West Michigan one of the best places in America to do business, we’d love you to join the more than 600 members who have found membership to be one of the best investments they make each year. Here's a summary of all we offer. To learn more about how you can join our growing family, call me directly, or contact Lynne Goede and find out how we can help you become an employer of choice! Save with TEA's Valued Partners

Sincerely,

David J. Smith, CAE
President & CEO
