To be able to reach your remarkable, we understand that you need to feel connected and respected as your authentic self – so we listen and strive for deeper understanding of what belonging means.
We value and celebrate the breadth of our people’s experiences, perspectives, passions and differences, and strive to nurture an environment where you can bring your whole self to work – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, family status, disability, neurodiversity or cultural background.
Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy is underpinned by five key pillars of focus:
Although not exhaustive, our pillars ensure we embrace a broad diversity, equity and inclusion focus while also understanding the unique needs of those with intersectional experience, supporting us all to build a deeper understanding of belonging for all our people.
We are passionate about achieving equity, removing barriers and elevating the experiences of women and gender diverse people throughout all stages of their careers.
We developed our Gender Equity Action Plan (GEAP) in 2021 in response to the recognised need to achieve and maintain gender equity at all career levels.
An initiative of the GEAP, our Gender Equity Network (GEN) strives to support women and gender diverse people. GEN builds a strong network of members and allies working together to create awareness and understanding, promote conscious inclusion and strengthen the pipeline of diverse talent for leadership roles.
Everyone is welcome to join GEN as either a member or an ally.
Grant Thornton uses the acronym LGBTI+, which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and (+) identifying other gender identities and sexualities not explicitly identified in this acronym, such as Asexual, Gender diverse, Queer or Questioning.
We are committed to creating a culture and environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and celebrated in how they choose to identify. Through education, advocacy and our employee led network (PRISM), we aim to raise awareness of issues faced by LGBTI+ people at work and in our communities more broadly.
Our PRISM network of LGBTI+ team members and allies promote a respectful, supportive and equitable culture and work collectively to increase the visibility of LGBTI+ inclusion both in our workplace and broader community.
Everyone is welcome to join PRISM – as either a LBGTI+ member or an ally.
We recognise that the recruitment process can be very challenging for the LGBTI+ community and that for gender-diverse individuals it can be full of unique challenges and complexities.
