Yorkshire mental health charity Touchstone celebrates achieving three star accreditation in the annual Best Companies to Work For – 2021 – for employee engagement, which is classed as world class levels of employee engagement and is the highest star rating you can achieve.

Touchstone has been a top 10 Best Company since 2017 and has been in the top 100 since 2013. Alison Lowe, CEO at Touchstone commented “Touchstone is delighted to have been placed 35th in the Best Large Company to work for list, as a result of moving from the Best Not for Profit Best companies list in 2021. This is a massive endorsement of the quality services our staff have continued to deliver during the most difficult of times for us all. I am so proud that Touchstone colleagues have been validated in this way, their care, compassion and skill are second to none and they deserve all the plaudits that this ranking gives them. As I look to a future where I no longer work for this fantastic organisation, I know Touchstone is extremely well placed to continue to inspire communities and transform lives.”
