Included and valued for your difference is how everyone should feel at work. Not just because it’s right, but because we’re all at our best when we’re able to be ourselves.
So, when you join Grant Thornton, we’ll work hard to ensure that’s how you feel. We want you for who you are. We’re excited to see the personality and perspectives you’ll bring to our team because we know we’ll all benefit from them. We have a flexible, non-gender specific 'dress for your diary' policy, allowing all our people to wear what they want and bring the real them to work.
We want Grant Thornton to be a place where everyone is treated fairly and has equal access to opportunities and rewards. But more than that, we want Grant Thornton to be a place where it’s OK to ask questions, where we’re all open to and interested by different perspectives, and where we’re continually learning from and educating each other.
Our ambition is to be fully inclusive every day. Of course, we have a way to go to get there. But we have a strategy for how we’re going to do it, which centres around three principles.
We emphasise the importance of inclusion and diversity in the way we deliver our strategy at all leadership meetings and through our successful reverse mentoring programme.
We involve our people to ensure we create a culture of everyday inclusion and have over 400 trained Inclusion Allies.
We encourage ownership of I&D at every level within the organisation, and engage everyone within the firm through active networks, celebration events, and webinars.
Diversity of thought, background and experience enables better decision-making, improves the quality of our delivery and helps us to meet the needs of our clients. Our firm is built on people and their ideas, so we want to hear all the new perspectives and fresh thinking you have to offer.
We have whole host of employee led networks within the firm, allowing people to connect with people they identify with, and learn from others. Some networks are online only communities, whilst others offer both in-person and virtual networking opportunities. Our networks include:
We focus on five core strands of I&D, and work with some of the UK's leading experts to help drive our strategies and build a more inclusive work culture. For each strand we have both an SLT sponsor, and a partner convenor who work with our inclusion and diversity teams to ensure we are setting ambitious strategies that will help us achieve our goals.
Explore more about our overarching strands below, and visit their pages to learn more about the activity within each area.
Our people make us who we are, and our culture enables them to thrive.
We ask a lot of our people, but we give a lot in return.
