I'm Laura Hartgrove, founder of Clarus Harbor HR Partners. With a background in psychology and extensive Human Resources leadership experience across multiple industries, I've dedicated my career to helping organizations build stronger workplaces by supporting both their people and their business goals.

​

Throughout my career, I've partnered with leaders to navigate complex employee relations, develop confident managers, strengthen workplace culture, improve compliance, and create practical HR solutions that support long-term success. I believe effective HR isn't about adding bureaucracy—it's about providing clear guidance, reducing risk, and helping businesses create environments where employees can do their best work.

​

I founded Clarus Harbor HR Partners because I saw a need among small and growing businesses for experienced HR leadership that is both practical and affordable. Many organizations need strategic HR expertise but aren't ready for a full-time HR executive. My goal is to bridge that gap by providing personalized, people-focused support that grows alongside your business.

​

My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and grounded in balancing the needs of employees with the goals of the organization. Because no two businesses—or teams—are exactly alike, every recommendation is tailored to your workplace, priorities, and challenges.

​

Whether you need ongoing fractional HR support or guidance through a specific workplace issue or project, I’m committed to helping you move forward with clarity and confidence—building a workplace where leaders feel equipped, employees feel valued, and your business is positioned for lasting success.
