IDG's Computerworld has named Grant Thornton (News - Alert) LLP to its 2014 Best Places to Work in IT list, one of 100 top organizations that challenges its IT staff while providing great benefits and compensation.

Grant Thornton knows that work/life options are essential for its employees and provides unique solutions that balance competing demands. In addition, the firm encourages employees to take advantage of nontraditional career opportunities that fit their skill sets. The firm also actively solicits and acts on feedback, capturing ideas, suggestions and concerns of its IT employees.

"We are proud to be recognized for the 11th consecutive year by Computerworld magazine on its Best Places to Work in IT list," said David Holyoak, Grant Thornton's chief information officer. "Our appearance on this list year after year is reflective of our commitment to maximizing potential for success by offering our employees maximum opportunity, including a variety of work/life and professional options."

The Best Places to Work in IT list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals by IDG's Computerworld. The list is compiled based on a comprehensive questinnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention.

"Hiring the best and the brightest IT pros, offering them competitive pay and providing top-notch benefits is just the beginning for the outstanding employers on this year's Best Places to Work in IT list," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "Both newcomers to the list and rock-steady stalwarts nurture their talent with challenging business-critical projects, extensive training opportunities and ongoing career development programs.
