ABOUT

The independent, mission-driven HR and management consultancy 

At Graves, we believe when people thrive, business thrives

At Graves, we help you embrace the value of your people through trust, transparency, and solutions backed by data. Graves is your partner in navigating the complexities of critical business systems such as compensation, strategic planning, and people management.

Focused on competitive and equitable pay, performance management, and organizational strategy

We offer tailored studies and data-driven solutions for municipalities, businesses, and nonprofits. Our expertise helps you meet compliance standards, lead high-performing teams, and create long-lasting impact.

We’re women-owned and operated

As an enterprise committed to ‘better for all’ business, we aren’t just consultants; we’re a force for good. We champion individual competencies and strengths regardless of background. We believe systems that give equal consideration to the bottom line and to the people driving it do better in the long run, so we build solutions with this in mind. Through it all, we work hand in hand with our partners to enable real, sustainable transformation and unlock the impact.

Integrated HR and management consulting

At work, inefficiency can be as frustrating as inequity. But as a mission-driven HR and Management consultancy, we believe in doing business in a way that’s better for everyone — for your employees, for the business, and for the communities where you live and work.
