"We have had the pleasure of working closely with The Employers Association (TEA) for many years. Their invaluable survey data has consistently empowered us to make informed decisions regarding compensation and benefits, ensuring our organization remains competitive and attractive in the market. Moreover, TEA's comprehensive training resources have greatly enhanced the skill sets of our employees, contributing directly to our overall organizational success. Beyond their exceptional services, TEA's staff is both knowledgeable and friendly, making every interaction a positive experience. We highly recommend TEA to any organization seeking reliable HR solutions and strategic support."

"We partner with The Employers Association (TEA) for professional development for several key reasons. First, their facilitators bring exceptional expertise on topics that align with our values and contribute to our success. Their deep knowledge, experience, and facilitation skills consistently stand out. Second, using external facilitators from TEA offers a valuable outside perspective, enriching the learning experience for our employees. Lastly, with a workforce of around 500, TEA's cost-effective, targeted courses provide an ideal solution when only a few employees need specific training. Their flexibility and affordability make TEA a smart choice for our ongoing development needs."

"Over the past 15 years, Request Foods has utilized The Employer’s Associations CORE Leadership Skills training classes as the foundation to our leadership development program. The feedback we’ve received from the participants, and their managers, has been overwhelmingly positive and has afforded our new and/or up and coming leaders a great launch pad for understanding the responsibilities of being a successful leader. Request Foods is very grateful to TEA for their partnership in providing fruitful training opportunities to our members over the years."

Mark Zink, Senior Director of People Services

"The Employer’s Association worked with us to develop a leadership development training program targeted to our team leads, up and coming team leads, and trainers. This program has had a positive impact on the performance, confidence, and overall morale of each of the participants. Everyone who took part expressed their satisfaction with the program, and others have asked to participate in future events."

"When I moved to West Michigan in 2000, I reached out to The Employer’s Association (TEA) and a Staff member convinced me to attend a HR Round Table. I quickly learned how it is a “safe space” where HR professionals can share, vent, brainstorm and learn from one another. I have leaned on the expertise of TEA staff by updating Handbooks and Compensation Programs, participating in Wage & Hour Surveys, implementing Safety Processes, New Hire background checks, FMLA/LOA inquiries and practical policies and procedures. I have always believed that HR is about bringing the “Human” into Human Resources. You always leave an HR Round Table feeling refreshed and rejuvenated as if you just went to church. At church, you feed your soul and at the TEA you fill your heart."
