Grant Thornton LLP, Canada, proudly announces that it was named one of the 2017 Best Workplaces for Women in Canada on March 6 – a true honour at a time when the world pays tribute to International Women’s Day.

Toronto, ON - March 8, 2017

Grant Thornton received this recognition after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work® Canada.

The results are based on the Great Place to Work survey, and in order to be considered, an organization must have a minimum 90% positive response to the statement "I am treated fairly regardless of my gender".

In fact, Grant Thornton LLP workforce reflects 59.3% females across Canada so this award is a tremendous result.

“We’re so honoured to receive this award,” said Kevin Ladner, Executive Partner & CEO, Grant Thornton LLP. “Enabling an environment where everyone has equal opportunity is essential. We want all of our people to succeed in what they do every day, in turn providing excellent service to our clients and each other, as peers and colleagues.”

Grant Thornton is committed to leading inclusively.

Two social posts will run on Grant Thornton social media channels each day from March 8 – 15, 2017. The posts will capture thoughts, sentiments and quotes that have inspired Grant Thornton people across the country, sharing a call to action for others to inspire, #InspiredbyPurple.

“Some people wonder why organizations struggle to foster true diversity and inclusion,” said Dawne-Marie MacLeod, Partner & Leading Inclusively Leadership Council Chair at Grant Thornton LLP. “All too often it’s because they continue to operate with a traditional approach and mind-set, which may diminish opportunities for new leaders and voices.”

On the global front – Grant Thornton International issued its annual Women in Business - International Business Report (IBR) today. The survey of 5,500 businesses in 36 countries took a closer look at effective risk management as vital to future growth. The key findings:

  • 1 in 4 senior business roles are now held by women, a slight increase from 2016, with developing regions continuing to lead the charge on diversity in the workplace.
  • In times of uncertainty, being able to mitigate risks and seize opportunities is vital for business success. Men and women perceive and respond to risk differently, so firms with diverse leadership teams will benefit from better decision-making and more sustainable growth.
