The Challenge
When D and R Pest Control partnered with Gró HR, they were a growing service business without the internal infrastructure needed to support their team long-term. There was no formal payroll system in place, safety practices were inconsistent, and workers’ compensation issues were creating financial strain and added stress for ownership. Leadership wanted to focus on growth—but HR and compliance demands were pulling them away from the business.
Our Approach
Gró HR stepped in as a strategic HR partner, building systems and culture from the ground up:
Payroll & HR Infrastructure
Implemented Gusto to streamline payroll, onboarding, and HR administration—creating efficiency and clarity for both leadership and employees.
Safety & Risk Management
Established safety protocols, led ongoing safety conversations, and facilitated training programs to address high injury rates and workers’ compensation exposure.
Culture & Communication
Helped leadership strengthen internal communication and reinforce a culture of accountability, care, and consistency across the team.
The Results
The impact was immediate—and lasting:
Over five figures saved annually through reduced workers’ compensation claims and improved operational efficiency
Two consecutive years incident-free, dramatically improving safety ratings
Lower injury rates and fewer workers’ comp claims
Reduced administrative burden for management and ownership
Clearer communication and stronger engagement across the workforce
A healthier, more intentional company culture that supports sustainable growth
Gró HR implemented a safety program for us after we had two or three workers’ comp claims from simple accidents. Since then, we’ve stayed accident-free for more than two years.
The Value of Partnership
By offloading HR, payroll, and safety strategy to Gró HR, D and R Pest Control gained more than compliance—they gained peace of mind. With systems in place and people supported, leadership could refocus on growth, service quality, and long-term vision.
