Last Friday evening, we got together with our people to recognize the most outstanding achievements, celebrate successfully completed projects, and to hand over the Grant Thornton Baltic's 2023 best employee awards.
Our entire team has put in a lot of effort last year and every recognition, nomination and award is more than one hundred percent earned! The fact that we achieve the best results when we do it through cooperation, with open mind and a commitment to quality was echoed in the winners' acceptance speeches.
The atmosphere in the Põhjala factory, where the party was held, was absolutely wonderful. When our people come together, they really live in every step, so the style of the party "rock" was fiercely executed through different eras!
The winners are in front of you! Read the warm and beautiful excerpts from our people's supportive comments to the nominees.
A really fun and sporty Grant Thornton Baltic women's cooperation project. Their quick response to put together a team, serious training and good teamwork led to a great performance at the BIG4 soccer tournament. The achieved second place was well earned!
