All business problems are people problems.

We diagnose and treat their root causes.

Lazarus Learning provides strategic workforce development consulting for people-centric SMB leaders.

We help businesses that are ready to scale, and those who have recently expanded through M&A, to maximize their growth and de-risk common issues of talent attraction and retention.

Transform your growing business with strategic workforce solutions that boost productivity by aligning people, performance and culture - designed to scale your success.

Your success depends on your people.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the success of your company increasingly hinges on the capabilities and satisfaction of your employees.

We specialize in helping leaders like you address the four critical challenges of talent management, that unaddressed, cost organizations a lot more than money.

HIRING - TEAMS - LEADERS - CULTURE

Our expertise in utilizing advanced diagnostic tools ensures your organization gets the necessary insights that help you achieve optimal performance and significant growth with greater speed and ease.  

Meet Michelle Arentz, owner of Lazarus Learning, and your Workforce MD.

Is your business experiencing any of these symptoms?

Are these things you’d like to avoid like the plague?

  • Higher than expected turnover, leaving you dizzy with the “revolving door” it creates.

  • Costly hiring mistakes that you wish you could inoculate against.

  • Teams that struggle to achieve objectives because there’s more friction than collaborating.

  • Miscommunication or conflict from silos, feeling more like a fractured bone than a cohesive framework.

  • Inconsistent or ill-equipped managers and leaders who create more headaches than they fix.

  • A company culture that’s grown more like something in a petri dish than your inspiring vision.

  • Upset customers, making you nervous about potential losses, including your reputation.

If you answered “YES!” to any of the above statements, take heart in knowing you don’t have to suffer. We should talk!
