Proof some bosses DO care

i WAs immensely touched by the story of the sainsbury’s employee diagnosed with dementia who was nevertheless able to carry on working for a further five years.

staff at the store in Harrow, North London, went out of their way to make her feel valued, changing her shift patterns as necessary and offering the support needed, as her grateful son put it, to preserve her self-worth when ‘she was literally losing everything she once was’.

in a world where employees are increasingly seen as disposable, it is truly heartening to see a company putting people before profit for once.
