WorkForce Software, a Livonia-based software firm, has added 86 new jobs in 2015, expanding its staff to 520 people, most of whom are based in southeast Michigan.
"We've been on a multi-year growth streak," says Jonathan Corke, director of communications for
WorkForce Software. "In addition to expanding our Ann Arbor office, we have been acquiring more real-estate at our home office."
WorkForce Software has grown its downtown Ann Arbor office to 20 people in just three years. More than half of its employee base calls the Livonia headquarters home, which has gone from occupying one floor of its building to three. WorkForce's logo serves as the building's marquee signage on the structure overlooking I-275 and 7 Mile Road.
WorkForce Software makes management software for large-scale employers. Often that software helps them make sure they are conforming to whatever federal, state, or local regulation they need to abide by.
"There is a lot more for large employers to deal with," Corke says. "In short, we get compliance right."
It's proven to be a profitable endeavor. The company consistently has grown its revenue by double-digits in recent years, including a 21 percent bump last year.
"The prior year we grew significantly more than that," Corke says.
He expects that growth to continue as more and more big companies figure out they need help to conform to new laws and streamline their operations.
"We are in a very good position," Corke says.
