Addressing Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s in the Workplace

January 27, 2025

The impact of cognitive impairment and dementia in the workplace is on the rise. Due in part to an aging workforce - 62% of older Americans are still employed full-time - the importance of understanding Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia is increasingly critical to HR leaders.

Tune in as we sit down with Joanne Pike, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, to discuss the experiences of employees impacted by Alzheimer's, both those living with this disease and those who are caregivers. She also shares how employers can better support these individuals through workplace culture and benefits. Listen now.
