About Lola Kakes

As the founder and human resource professional of EffortlessHR, Inc, I leverage my over 30 years of HR experience to provide affordable, easy to use, and comprehensive online HR software for small to mid-sized businesses. I understand the challenges and needs of these businesses, and I designed EffortlessHR to help them manage their most important asset - their people. EffortlessHR offers a range of features and benefits, such as online employee and personnel management, employee portal and time tracking, online file storage, forms, guides, and laws. My goal is to ensure that our clients have access to reliable and up-to-date information and tools to operate their businesses professionally and legally. I also have a strong passion for compliance and culture, and I work with our clients to align their HR systems with their vision and values. As an author of two HR books and a former chair of NAWBO National Steering Committee, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the HR field, and I am always eager to connect and support our clients and partners.
