TORONTO, May 3, 2017 /CNW/ - Grant Thornton LLP is distinctly honoured to be recognized as one of Canada's Best Workplaces. This marks the 10th year that the firm has been recognized, ranking seventh overall.
"We are very proud to be named one of Canada's Best Workplaces for the 10th consecutive year," said Kevin Ladner, Executive Partner and CEO, Grant Thornton LLP. "We are Purpose driven and it shows – we believe great things can happen when we work together to help our clients, colleagues and communities thrive."

The list of "Best Workplaces in Canada" is compiled by Great Place to Work® Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a survey completed by employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth audit of the organization's culture, including an evaluation of the core values and philosophies that underpin its people practices. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a Great Place to Work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
