Customer stories: Grant Thornton
About Grant Thornton
Grant Thornton is a global professional services network committed to delivering exceptional client experiences and fostering a robust internal culture. Four years ago, Grant Thornton embarked on a journey to prioritize its people through a “People First” strategy, setting the stage for HR transformation and innovation.
The Problem: A Cultural Shift
Grant Thornton’s traditional performance management system was static, offering limited interaction throughout the year. The process involved setting objectives at the start of the year, only to review them months later. This lack of engagement and continuous feedback impeded productivity and employee satisfaction. The existing system was difficult to maintain, didn’t offer flexibility, and lacked real-time insights for both management and HR teams.
Four to five years ago, we realized the need for a shift. We were working with a basic tool that did the essentials, but there was a clear demand for something flexible and easy to use.”
Grant Thornton's Choice: A People-first Platform
Grant Thornton utilizes the Development feature, where users can add developments and actions, the Career feature, where individuals share their aspirations and goals, and the Objectives feature, which enables employees to set goals and maintain continuous interaction with their managers and colleagues, averaging seven objectives per user. huapii offers a structured framework for ongoing dialogue, empowering employees to actively shape their growth within the organization.
Onboarding and Implementation
Upon revamping its performance management, GT selected huapii as its HR platform. With a focus on seamless onboarding, huapii worked closely with GT to adapt its processes and align with Grant Thornton’s requirements. Beginning with a pilot phase of 50 users in January 2023, the user base grew rapidly, adding 80 more users by November and reaching 230 users today.
