Abstract

Grant Thornton is an accounting firm which has over 30 offices in different locations around the UK. Each location has a managing partner who has a great deal of autonomy. In addition there are nationally run businesses, also led by a managing partner and often centred in London, but with people based in other offices as well. Consistency of approach with respect to recruitment and talent management is seen more within the national businesses. Each office has a number of partners, and a range of managers, senior managers and Client Service Directors; there is also a local HR officer or manager, and one or two line managers who have taken on the additional role of staff development manager (about 20% of their time). There are approaching 900 people with ‘manager’ in their job title.
