Lakeside HR Group Awarded 2025 Great Workplaces in Minnesota
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve been recognized as one of the 2025 Great Workplaces in Minnesota by Twin Cities Business! This first-time award was a collaborative effort between Best Companies Group, the Minnesota Society of Human Resource Management, and Twin Cities Business. Best Companies Group conducted a thorough assessment of each company that included an in-depth company data evaluation, employee questionnaire and positivity benchmark.
Employers with the highest rankings were recognized and we are proud to announce that Lakeside HR Group scored #1 in our small category of 15-49 employees!
Growing Culture, Growing Team
Founded in 2021, Lakeside HR Group has experienced healthy growth—not just in business, but in the culture we cultivate every day. Our commitment to building strong workplace environments extends beyond our clients; it’s at the core of who we are.
“Being recognized as one of the Best Workplaces is not only a testament to how our employees feel about working at Lakeside, says Kristin Nordling, Founder & President. But also a reflection of the exceptional service we provide our clients.”
“I mentioned our awards to a partner today, and he pointed out how impressive it is that we don’t just help companies with culture—we live it.” – Erin Hargrove, Director of Business Development & Growth Strategy
