CHICAGO — Grant Thornton, one of America’s largest brands of professionals providing end-to-end audit, assurance, tax and advisory services, has been named one of Seramount’s 2025 ‘100 Best Companies’ for the 20th consecutive year.
The 100 Best Companies list honors organizations that go above and beyond in supporting employees and their families, offering inclusive benefits such as paid gender-neutral parental leave, backup childcare, mental health resources and more.
“For the last few decades, we’ve continuously evolved by listening to our people, adapting to shifting expectations and reimagining what it means to thrive in a dynamic global workplace,” said Jeanna Shapiro, Grant Thornton’s chief people & culture officer. “By prioritizing well-being, fostering equitable opportunities and embracing adaptability, we’re creating an environment where everyone can succeed and drive our collective growth.”
Grant Thornton continues to offer a range of parent-friendly benefits and initiatives, including:
- Paid gender-neutral parental leave for birth, adoption or guardianship of a child.
- Flexible time off, an industry-leading benefit enhancement that allows employees to take time off as needed to meet their individual needs instead of a predetermined set of paid time off days.
- Reimbursements for adoption and surrogacy as well as comprehensive fertility treatment coverage.
- Accommodations for pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions as well as bereavement leave.
- Covering the cost of breast milk shipping when employees are traveling for work.
- Employee assistance programs that are available for employees and immediate family members who need support services such as stress management, counseling, or access to additional care benefits.
- Access to 20 days per year of backup care through a partnership with Care.com.
- Working Parents & Allies business resource group (BRG) focuses on aligning parenting values to workplace expectations and offers best practices for successful work-life integration. The firm also supports eight additional BRGs that foster personal and professional growth and build community among teammates.
- Access to Happify, a mental health and wellness provider offering science-based activities, games and meditations that help reduce stress, manage negative thoughts and build resilience and mindfulness — both at home and at work.
“In these times, having the best talent is absolutely essential to success. These companies demonstrate commitments to best practices that help all team members thrive and do their best work,” said Subha Barry, president of Seramount. “Offering family-friendly benefits is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have to retain talent in a disengaged workforce.”
Grant Thornton was recently honored with multiple awards that underscore its dedication to fostering a supportive, people-centered culture. The firm was recently ranked by Forbes as one of ‘America’s Best Employers for Women 2025’ and was also named one of ‘America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families’ by Newsweek.
