Highly Passionate. Midwest Work Ethic. Southern Hospitality.
Gró was founded by a daughter of business owners, in the humble state of Iowa, who saw her parents wear the many hats that business owners often have to wear and manage. After spending several years as an HR Professional and Business Manager, she realized that her passion lies in helping smaller businesses succeed.
After taking a leap of faith, she quickly realized she was not alone in her passion for serving smaller businesses and their teams in all functions of their business to create companies that truly “Gró”!
Our team is special; we live and operate by our Core Values—
- Approachable and Engaged – Consistent Daily Behavior, Easy to be Around.
- Intellectually Curious – We Love to Learn and to Gro(w).
- Passion & Respect for People – Eager to Listen. Willing to Serve. Always Treating People with Dignity and Kindness.
- Resourceful and Collaborative – If We Don’t Have an Answer, We Look for it. If We Don’t Have a Resource, We Work Together to Create It.
- One Calling – One Team – We Hold Each Other Accountable and Pursue Excellence Together as a Unified Organization.
These Values help set us and our team apart from other solutions, and have been proven through results that our clients see daily!
