Authentic = Growth

From our inception in 2021, Lakeside HR Group has experienced remarkable growth. Even after being submitted for this award, our team expanded from 10 to 17 members!

“From day one, Lakeside’s mission has been to build a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work. It’s the authenticity, creativity, and passion of our team members that make Lakeside HR Group such a special place.

I couldn’t be more proud of this team. They truly live our values—genuine, curious, scrappy, and value-adders—every day and are trusted partners to our clients. This recognition reflects their hard work and dedication, and I’m confident it’s the driving force behind our growth.”

The Award Process

The Best Places to Work award is based on employee feedback, making this recognition even more meaningful to us. The survey, conducted by a third-party research firm, measures employee satisfaction across various categories, including engagement, leadership, benefits, and work-life balance. We are proud that our employees rated Lakeside HR Group so highly, underscoring our efforts to cultivate a workplace where everyone feels valued.

The Award Celebration

Although the day began with a downpour, the skies cleared, and we had an amazing time celebrating with 13 of our 17 team members and their families. The energy at the ceremony was incredible, and our team was well represented! Afterward, everyone enjoyed the fair, making the day even more fun.
