Alzheimer’s Society recognised in Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026

Celebrating excellence in workplace culture and employee experience

Hundreds of organisations enter the awards each year, celebrating excellence in workplace culture and employee experience. Scores are based on 26 questions from WorkL’s employee engagement survey, developed by independent experts to accurately monitor workplace engagement and wellbeing.  

Organisations are evaluated across six areas: reward and recognition, instilling pride, information sharing, empowerment, wellbeing, and job satisfaction.  

We have also been highly commended for The Sunday Times Best Place to Work for LGBTQIA+ employees 2026, recognising the progress the organisation is making in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Dedication, drive and determination

Michelle Dyson CB, CEO of Alzheimer’s Society, said:

'This week is Dementia Action Week, my first since joining the Society in November, and it is a perfect moment to reflect on the sheer scale of the work we do as an organisation. 

Day in, day out, we directly support people living with dementia, campaign for it to be made a priority and fund groundbreaking research, offering hope for a future where the condition no longer devastates lives.' 

Everything we do relies on the dedication, drive and determination of every single member of the Alzheimer’s Society team. It is so important that our people feel supported and happy at work.

'This award is recognition of the way all our people consistently support each other – and in particular of the hard work of departments that support all employees.  I know there is always more we can do to listen, learn and keep improving and I am excited about what we can continue to build together over the next few years.'

Pat Mossop, Associate Director of People Transformation and Experience and LGBTQIA+ Network Executive Sponsor, said:

'This recognition is something we’re incredibly proud of.'

It reflects the commitment of everyone across the Society to creating a culture where LGBTQIA+ people feel safe, valued and able to be themselves at work.

'As Network Sponsor, I see first-hand the impact that an inclusive environment has, not just on individuals, but on our ability to better support everyone affected by dementia. We know there’s always more to do, and this recognition motivates us to keep going.'
