AMAZING is one of many words to describe Lapekas HR Consulting, LLC. I have utilized services personally for professional development but also in the workplace. Kathleen conducted a series for... read more new managers in our Business Seminars and it was a huge success. Personally, she helped me with time management, conflict resolution and professionally she conducted a time management seminar for new/up-and-coming leaders in the organization. I proudly recommend her when small businesses ask about consultants to help with handbook development, HR functions, and professional development. Sara Worstell

I own and operate a small professional organizing business in Baltimore, MD. I was referred to Kathleen Lapekas with Lapekas HR Consulting by two other colleagues in my industry... read more who both raved about her- and now I understand why. I couldn't be more thrilled! I needed someone to assist me in creating an employee handbook. I had been working on one for literally years, but it never seemed to materialize. Fortunately, after just one phone meeting, Kathleen was able to help me identify specific policies important to my business and a host of other state and federal guidelines of which I wasn't even aware. Within just 2 weeks, she had an amazing handbook written for me and my team. All I can say is "WOW." I feel such peace of mind now. I plan to retain her services for additional HR matters too. If you have a small business, I highly recommend Kathleen Lapekas to be your virtual HR expert. She's smart, affordable, experienced, an excellent communicator, and highly professional.
