ALPHARETTA, Ga. (March 25, 2026) – Jackson and Coker Locum Tenens, a leader in healthcare staffing solutions, today announced that it has been named a 2026 Best Staffing Firm to Work For by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA). Based on feedback from its associates, the honor marks the company’s third appearance on the list, following recognition in 2025, and the program’s highest distinction — the Grand Prize award — in 2024.  

“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized once again by SIA, especially because this award is driven by the voices of our associates,” said Tim Fischer, president of Jackson and Coker Locum Tenens. “Creating an environment where people feel supported, valued and connected to a larger purpose is something we take seriously as a growing company. This recognition reflects the culture our associates help shape every day and their shared commitment to connecting providers with communities in need of care.” 

The annual Best Staffing Firms to Work For award program highlights organizations that excel in building engaged, high-performing workplaces. To determine the 2026 winners, associates completed a comprehensive survey measuring key drivers of engagement – including communication, leadership effectiveness, resources and alignment with company values – earning high marks across these categories. 

This year’s winning companies are featured on SIA’s Best Staffing Firms to Work For website and in the March/April issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.
