For me, I am always proud that our company offers this resource to us, and you’ve made a real difference in multiplate teammates lives. I tell anyone and everyone as I hope it helps others when they need that extra coaching and support.

I had the pleasure of working with Lake Effect HR & Law to create our new employee handbook.  Tricia and I had several meetings where she offered up great advice, and then listened to what would work best for our organization.  I am so pleased with the end result- the handbook is comprehensive, but not overwhelming, and it strikes the friendly tone that we were going for.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tricia, Jane, and the entire group at Lake Effect HR.

The support and guidance we receive from Jane Clark and her team is unmatched. In addition to their employment law expertise, their communication style is both personable and professional. We always feel like a top priority client.

I’ve been so grateful and impressed with your attention to details, patience and kindness. Re-evaluating our insurance offerings and making these transitions has been something I’ve wanted to do for awhile and working with you has made that possible.

Tricia and Jane are nothing short of phenomenal. As longtime friends and trusted facilitators for Nonprofit Leadership Initiative, they bring a rare blend of charisma, deep expertise in Human Resources and law, and an infectious energy that lights up every room they enter. Their sessions are not only informative but genuinely enjoyable—so much so that our nonprofit leaders request them time and time again. Whether they’re breaking down complex laws and regulations, or guiding thoughtful discussions, Tricia and Jane make learning feel effortless and fun. We’re incredibly lucky to have them as part of our extended team!

I have known Jane and Tricia in various roles for many years. Formerly in a different role I appreciated Jane’s thorough coaching on human resource questions and currently work alongside the Lake Effect HR team in the Dane County community servicing not-for-profit organizations. I can attest to their desire for solid HR processes developed by years of experience. Their positive attitudes carry an edge of lighthearted humor that paints the HR field with a “can do” attitude for tackling challenges and employment law changes, as evidenced by the material they presented to a group of nonprofit leaders during one of our firm’s breakfast events. The event was well-attended and spurred insightful questions and recommendations related to building a strong workplace culture by providing employees with strategic, meaningful work. Their passion extends beyond the day-to-day office work into a true mission-based desire to be the one-stop resource for their clients’ HR and employment law needs.

Lake Effect and Jane have been a beacon of light during these uncertain and confusing times.  They are an organization that serves with compassion and care and always puts the needs of their client front and center.  As a small nonprofit, it is challenging to afford and employ an HR position, Lake Effect helps us navigate sensitive scenarios and works hard to get us important information through their free weekly updates and bulletins.  … I can’t explain how meaningful it is to have an organization that I can trust and that I can sincerely say has their client’s best interests at heart.
