Caged Bird HR Founder Cierra Gross will be in the City Oct 7th and 8th for CultureCon (a Brooklyn based conference “jam-packed with inspirational key-notes, skill-building workshops and the opportunity to connect with the community you’ve been looking for.”
Frequently quoted as an HR expert in global media, Cierra Gross is the power woman founder and CEO of Caged Bird HR, the first HR services company providing employees access to independent HR support at scale. Her new company, Caged Bird HR, supports employees across the country who work at companies like Google, Amazon. Netflix, Meta, etc.

Cierra, who earned her Master’s in Human Resources from the University of South Carolina, was a highly recruited HR professional landing at companies like ExxonMobil, Google, and spending time in the tech startup space. Extremely successful in her work, today she has become known as a disrupter in the industry — and that’s no PR spin. What Gross has created has literally changed the landscape for today’s worker.

With Caged Bird HR, employees working at any company in the country gain the freedom to connect with an independent HR consultant at their convenience, without any organizational bias or conflict of interest. The platform offers a secure and confidential environment, where employees can discuss a wide range of HR-related topics, including workplace policies, career development, performance management, conflict resolution, and more. “We offer Caged Bird HR members their own dedicated HR professional, with their best interest in mind. Whether they just need to quickly get another opinion, bounce an idea off of an expert , or confirm if they are in fact dealing with a workplace microaggression, they can talk to their very own personal HR professional the same day for $50 a month,” says Cierra. “Our mission is to bridge the gap between employees and HR expertise, ensuring that every individual has a voice and the opportunity to thrive in their professional journey. We understand that employees may have unique concerns, questions, or conflicts that require confidential and unbiased advice.”

Caged Bird HR truly is a gamechanger, empowering employees with their own personal on call advocate with HR expertise. It’s surprisingly affordable — and in today’s world, a huge advantage to the employee who otherwise might be standing alone. It’s an investment that could save their job — or even their mental health.

In fact, that’s how it all began. “The story of how Caged Bird HR came to be is a deeply personal one for me,” Gross shares with visitors to the company website. “None of my accomplishments or high income would prepare or save me from my own experience with workplace trauma,” she said. She describes dealing with racism in the workplace, microagressions, and actions by other that limited her ability to advance in the workplace in spite of her undeniable accomplishments. The fight that ensued sent her “into clinical depression for nearly a year….it was in that darkness of depression I said to God and the universe, that if I survived this I would help others. Others that might be in the same situation, but did not have the Technical HR understanding to survive it.”

Only an hour after she first posted on Instagram about her new business idea, someone booked an appointment. Clearly she had not only hit upon a winning business idea — but she had also discovered a way to level the corporate playing field. Caged Bird HR was born.
