We care about our employees
Equal treatment is in high esteem
In June 2020, 11 Estonian companies and organisations – Grant Thornton Baltic being one of them – signed a covenant on diversity. Grant Thornton Baltic’s head of human resources Marge Litvinova says it’s very important for people to feel that the organisation values their knowledge, skills and initiative and does not promote people based on gender, age or how well they get along with the boss.

Work-life balance
We want our employees to keep their private and professional lives in good balance and one way of doing so is to allow people to work remotely. Our efforts have been recognized with the Remote Work Badge.

Good mental and physical health
It is important for us to contribute to the mental and physical health of our employees. In 2024, we were awarded with the bronze recognition label of Mental Health Supportive Employer by Peaasi.ee. In 2025, when the recognition system was updated, we were awarded the Õitseja (Blossomer) badge under the new system. The updated Peaasi.ee system includes four levels: Tärkaja (Emerger), Sirguja (Grower), Õitseja (Blossomer), and Viluja (Thriver).

Every Contribution Counts in National Defence
For Grant Thornton Baltic, it is important to contribute to strengthening Estonia’s defence capability both through practical actions and a statesmanlike attitude. That is why we maintain full salary for our employees during their participation in reservist training assemblies. In 2025, we received the bronze-level “Supporter of National Defence” recognition from the Ministry of Defence for this commitment.

Usually Christmas is the time of year that those in need are noticed more and get more attention and donations than usual. We want to help instil the ethos that you can do good in the other months of the year as well.
To assist those in need, we select some projects or initiatives each year where we see we can be useful. For example, in 2022 we supported Ukraine through two non-profits, MTÜ Eesti Pagulasabi (refugee aid) and MTÜ Ukraina Kultuurikeskus (Ukrainian cultural centre) and also funded Grant Thornton International’s Grant Thornton Ukraine support fund to assist our Ukrainian colleagues. In 2021, we invited employees to be donors and organised a food drive for the Estonian Food Bank. In the past we have helped needy families through the charity Aarete Laegas. Staff in our Tallinn and Tartu offices collected a large assortment of clothing, shoes, toys and useful household goods.
In addition to the charity projects selected annually, we have a longer-term relationship with a number of charity funds. For example, in 2023 we started supporting the MTÜ Peaasjad, which promotes mental health. We also continue our years-long support to the Tartu University Hospital Children’s Foundation, the Estonian Friends of the Zoo and the Hille Tänavsuu cancer treatment foundation The Gift of Life. For years, we had a tradition of being able to donate a sum of money from the company as a birthday gift, with a choice of three charity recipients.
A good deed warms the heart of both giver and recipient!
