Who is Grant Barrow?

About Grant Barrow

I am a HR strategist and business advisor passionate about helping businesses unlock the value of their people. Throughout my career, I have worked with organisations navigating growth, workforce challenges and complex people issues, developing practical solutions that improve performance, reduce risk and support long-term success. As Founding Partner of We Are HR, I work alongside business leaders to transform HR from a compliance function into a strategic driver of productivity, engagement and profitability. 

Together with my business partner, Leanne Clavan, I established We Are HR to provide Queensland businesses with hands-on, commercially focused HR support that delivers measurable outcomes. My approach combines deep HR expertise with real-world business understanding, helping organisations attract and retain great people, strengthen leadership capability and build workplace cultures that support sustainable growth. I believe the strongest businesses are built on strong teams, clear accountability and leaders who invest in their people.
