Grant Thornton LLP<\/a> (Grant Thornton) is one of America\u2019s largest audit, tax, and advisory firms\u2014and the U.S. member firm of the Grant Thornton International Ltd global network. They go beyond the expected to make business more personal and build trust into every result. With revenues of $1.97 billion and 51 offices nationwide, Grant Thornton is a community of more than 9,000 problem solvers who value relationships and are ready to help public and private organizations of all sizes and industries create more confident futures. Because, for Grant Thornton, how they serve matters as much as what they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A key driver in Grant Thornton\u2019s decision to foster leading-edge equitable employee benefits solutions was the need to attract and retain top talent. After initially providing backup child care benefits, firm leaders recognized that care needs are not limited to employees with children, and added senior backup care to the mix to help meet the needs of workers caring for aging loved ones. This was followed by later adding pet support services such as access to pet sitters and dog walkers. But the People & Community (P&C) team realized that there were employees who they still weren\u2019t reaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOver time, we realized that backup care alone did not necessarily meet the needs of the broader, diverse workforce,\u201d said Lou Ann Hutchison, Managing Director of People and Community at Grant Thornton. \u201cNot everyone has children, pets, or is part of the sandwich generation. Grant Thornton hires many individuals from varied and diverse backgrounds, and we wanted more inclusive benefits to be able to offer support for everyone\u2014not just working parents.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Grant Thornton has always been a leader when it comes to providing comprehensive, inclusive benefits. In 2020, Grant Thornton decided to upgrade their family benefits even further by partnering with Care for Business. Before their time with Care, Grant Thornton had backup care services with a different provider that had a more focused and narrower suite of offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, with Care for Business, Grant Thornton offers their employees 30 days of subsidized Backup Care<\/a> for children and seniors, which includes the ability for employees to use someone in their own personal network if their normal caregiver is unavailable. They also offer access to a Care.com Membership<\/a>, which provides employees with access to the world\u2019s largest network for finding vetted caregivers for children, seniors, and pets\u2014as well as tutoring and housekeeping resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy Grant Thornton Cares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
