“I may be able to sleep tonight thanks to Lisa’s advice and guidance.

Her expertise in the field of HR is the best I have seen in all of my professional career.

And I honestly don’t know what we would do without Lisa’s expertise and quite frankly, her humor. She takes on the biggest challenges we face with full attention, never missing a detail. 

I trust Lisa implicitly to provide us with the most current trends in Human Resources and to provide us a clear and appropriate path. 

And I am so grateful for Lisa’s incredible knowledge and ongoing support with HR issues.  She is extremely thorough and thoughtful in every way. 

Lisa is always looking for the best possible outcome for not only the organization but the employee.  I honestly don’t know what we would do without her expertise and quite frankly, her humor.

“I am the president of Sutter Insurance Company, in Petaluma California. And my company has used Lisa Johnson as our trusted HR Consultant for many years.

She has done a great deal of work for our firm. And she is professional, prompt, and well spoken, as well as also being very current and up to date on the changing laws, best practices, and strategies used within the workplace.

I would highly recommend Lisa for providing HR help for your firm, organization, or individual executive HR advice needs.”

“We have been using the services of Lisa Johnson for over 5 years.

These consultation services she has provided have encompassed hiring, employee relations, payroll, benefits and leave, as well as enforcing company policies and practices.

Lisa Johnson's guidance has helped the club through critical decisions impacting day-to-day operations.

Further as the current Chief Administrative Officer I've came to further appreciate Lisa's stance on policy and procedure as it has enhanced my lens on how I currently assess, and approach scenarios related to H.R practices.

Lisa is a treasure trove of ‘know-how; and valuable information that will allow any organization to thrive!

She is simply the best!”

“The world of HR, especially in California, is extremely complex. And as a business owner I do not have the time to learn all the rules.

So I am thrilled to have Lisa Johnson as a resource to lean on for any and all HR projects that come up.

First off, Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and if there are issues where she has less experience, she has a team of advisors to help her provide meaningful guidance.

Second, she is extremely responsive. Sometimes HR issues need prompt attention and Lisa has always been very available to me.

Thirdly, she in incredibly kind. HR issues are rarely black and white. When Lisa provides me advice, she always gives me options and outlines the pros and cons of each from a regulatory perspective and from the heart.

At the end of the day, I can sleep at night knowing I treated my employees fairly and with respect as Lisa does a tremendous job of helping me get there.”
