Every new state, every new hire adds regulatory risk. One missed filing costs more than a year of HR software.
New hires get a Slack invite and a "figure it out" energy. No handbook, no structure, no consistent experience.
Without someone owning people ops, culture forms randomly. By the time you notice problems, they're embedded.
New hire? PeopleForge generates their welcome package, compliance docs, team introductions, and 30-60-90 plan automatically.
Tracks state-by-state labor requirements, flags gaps, and drafts policy updates before they become fines.
Regular check-ins with your team. Surfaces sentiment trends and flags concerns before they become resignations.
Structures review periods, gathers peer feedback, and prepares summaries so managers can focus on conversations, not paperwork.
Both plans include everything PeopleForge offers. The difference is how much HR support you need.
PeopleForge works while you sleep. Here's what a typical day looks like.
Everything a fractional HR leader does for your startup. Autonomous. Transparent. Cancel anytime. Ask HR anything.
