Grant Thornton has been awarded The Jersey Good Business Charter in recognition of its transformative approach to creating a happy working environment for its people.
The Jersey Good Business Charter is led by Paul Milbank, who launched the Jersey Charter to highlight, celebrate and encourage the contribution of businesses in Jersey to build a better community and a better world.
The Charter Mark is awarded to businesses that can demonstrate against a series of standards that they are serious about an approach to business ethics and corporate social responsibility that focuses on the impact of business on its people, supply chain, community, future generations and the planet.
Grant Thornton is proud to announce that it is the first professional services firm in Jersey to be awarded the Chartered Status. The Council were particularly impressed by the impact that the firm is having on its people in creating employee engagement and satisfaction – as evidenced by its extraordinary ‘Employee Net Promotor Score’.
Brendan McMahon, Chair of the Board of the Jersey Good Business Charter said: “On behalf of the whole Board, I would like to congratulate Grant Thornton for this significant achievement. I know that our Council were very impressed with two aspects of their application, namely their innovative work in the community with local charities, and their extraordinary staff satisfaction ratings, which are the highest in the entire global Grant Thornton network! We will be encouraging Grant Thornton to continue in their Good Business Journey and to consider applying for the next level of the Charter”.
Adam Budworth, Managing Director of Grant Thornton said, “We are delighted to receive news of this Award. Leading our business with a people first ethos has always delivered excellent results; not least in our financial performance, but more importantly in the happiness and engagement of our team. I am delighted that we have been recognised for the positive approach we take in supporting our people and the wider, local community”.
