stays generative.

Navigating RTO Without Losing Your Best People
A practical framework built from 40+ member conversations across 18 months of hybrid experiments.

What Happens Here
Three ways to find
your people.
Grove isn’t a conference. It isn’t a Slack group. It’s closer to a clearing in the woods.
Fireside Dinners
Eight to twelve people around a table in someone's city. No agenda, no slides — just a question put in the middle and two hours to sit with it.
Hosted quarterly in NYC, SF, London, and Chicago.
Working Groups
Six-week cohorts of 10 members working through a single problem together — compensation philosophy, manager training, hiring for culture without culture-fitting.
Structured but never scripted. Output is yours.
Resource Library
Templates, frameworks, and case studies built by members, for members. The compensation benchmark no one publishes. The reorg communication that actually worked.
240+ resources. Searchable by company stage and challenge.
Free to Read
Before you decide,
read the room.
Three pieces from the Grove reading list. No gate. Just proof of what the conversations produce.
The retention conversation no one is having (until it's too late)
Why exit interviews are the wrong data source, and what 200-person startups should be measuring instead. Built from 40 Grove member conversations.
When the CEO asks you to cut 15%: a field guide from people who've been there
Three CHROs walk through the decisions they made, the ones they'd make differently, and the thing no consultant will tell you about workforce reductions.
Return-to-office without the backlash: what actually worked
Eighteen months of member experiments distilled into a framework that doesn't require you to choose between your best people and your CEO's mandate.
