Toronto, ON (April 14, 2023)—Grant Thornton has once again been named one of Canada’s Best Workplaces™ by the Great Place to Work® Institute. This is the 16th consecutive year that Grant Thornton has been included on this list, after a rigorous and independent review of feedback from our people.
Grant Thornton thrives because our colleagues thrive. We’re committed to fostering a workplace where colleagues can experience a sense of belonging through authentic connection and trust; where diverse voices are not only at the table, but also heard and valued; and where all people have equitable access to opportunities for growth and development.

“At Grant Thornton, we’re incredibly proud of and grateful for our special culture,” says Sharon Healy, Chief People & Culture Officer, Grant Thornton. “A healthy, vibrant culture can only exist, flourish, and thrive when people cultivate, embrace, and support it.”
Kevin Ladner, CEO and Executive Partner, Grant Thornton, adds: “Culture underpins our success. It empowers our colleagues to build strong connections with our clients and communities, one relationship at a time.”
The 2023 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work® Institute. The competition process to be ranked on this list is employee driven and represents multiple industries and sizes of organizations. Seventy five percent of each organization’s score is based on confidential employee feedback, from the globally recognized Trust Index® Survey. The remaining twenty-five percent is based on quality, quantity and effectiveness of the programs and policies which support their employees and corporate culture. This study 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 five trust-building dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
This year’s list captures the experience and sentiment of 150,000 employees, rolling out to impact over 500,000 Canadian employees.
