Julie Perry
I founded PeopleForge HR with a simple belief: every organization deserves access to experienced HR leadership, regardless of its size.
Throughout my career, I have partnered with business leaders to navigate the challenges that come with managing and growing a workforce. From employee relations and compliance to talent acquisition, performance management, leadership coaching, and organizational development, I have helped organizations build strong HR foundations that support both their people and their business goals.
My experience includes supporting organizations in the senior living industry as well as other growing businesses that need practical HR expertise without the expense of a full-time HR executive. I understand the realities business owners and leaders face every day—balancing operational demands, regulatory requirements, employee concerns, and growth objectives.
As a Fractional HR Leader, I serve as a strategic partner and trusted advisor, providing customized solutions that align with each organization's unique needs and culture. Whether building HR programs from the ground up, strengthening compliance practices, guiding difficult employee situations, or supporting leadership teams through change, my focus is always on delivering practical solutions that create lasting results.
At PeopleForge HR, my goal is not simply to manage HR processes—it's to help organizations build stronger workplaces where employees can thrive and businesses can succeed. When people are supported, engaged, and empowered, organizations are better positioned to achieve their mission. That's the foundation of everything I do.
