Grant Thornton recognized as Best Workplace again in 2010

Toronto, ON, April 13, 2010

“We are incredibly proud of this prestigious recognition because it’s based on an independent survey of our own people – it’s a measure of how they feel,” says Phil Noble, Executive Partner and CEO. “Fulfilling our brand promise to clients is ultimately in the hands of our people. We are very committed to creating an environment where talented professionals are inspired to work, thereby ensuring that the experience our clients have with the firm is exceptional.”

According to Sharon Healy, National Managing Director, People and Culture, the firm is very selective in their recruitment practices, assessing candidates not only for talent and experience, but equally importantly for cultural fit.

“When we talk about having the best people,” Ms. Healy says, “we are talking about attracting the right people, not just those with the strongest academic credentials – that’s a given. Those who thrive in our environment have an entrepreneurial orientation and the passion to want to make a difference every day for the benefit of their colleagues, our clients, and the communities across Canada in which they work and live.”

“It takes a great team to create a great place to work. Ultimately, our people love what they do. Grant Thornton is a brand on the move, and it’s very exciting to be part of that,” she adds.
