Joint Operations recognised as the Best Medium Sized Company to work for in the Health and Social Care Industry in the official Sunday Times Best Places to Work list

We are proud to announce that Joint Operations has been recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 (Medium Organisation). In addition, we have also been named the best medium sized company to work for in the Health and Social Care Industry.

The list recognises the UK’s top employers that are leading the way in employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience, and celebrates Joint Operations’ outstanding commitment to creating a positive, healthy and supportive working environment for its teams.

Zoe Thomas, Editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work said: “In an evolving world of work Britain’s leading employers are helping staff forge careers that count today – and in the future. In turn, the Best Places to Work have the resilience to weather the current economic storms baked in, thanks to engaged workers who go above and beyond with a smile.”

At Joint Operations, employee health, wellbeing and engagement are not just initiatives, they are embedded into our culture. From proactive mental health support and wellbeing programmes to flexible working practices and a strong sense of community, we have worked consistently to ensure colleagues feel valued, supported and empowered to thrive and develop alongside us.

Beckie Holmes, Head of People and Culture at Joint Operations said “Our teams have always been at the heart of Joint Operations and maintaining a positive and inspiring culture as we have grown has remained a key focus. Achieving platinum status with Investors in People in late 2025 was a real milestone and now seeing Joint Operations feature in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is the icing on the cake. Most importantly though, this recognition belongs to every member of Joint Operations. The culture we have created together demonstrates our shared values and shows our commitment to supporting one another.”

These awards align with Joint Operations’ broader focus on people, reinforcing our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in workplace wellbeing. We remain dedicated to listening to our teams, evolving our support systems and ensuring that our employee’s experiences remain a top priority.

Richard Forster, Managing Director said “We are absolutely delighted to receive this award. It is a testament to the dedication of our entire team in creating an environment where people feel safe, supported and able to do their best work. Prioritising wellbeing and happiness isn’t just the right thing to do—it is essential to building a resilient, high-performing organisation.”
