Staffing Industry Analysts announced the winners of their 2019 ‘Best Staffing Firms To Work For’ Wednesday at their 28^th annual Executive Forum North America in Austin, Texas, according to a company press release.

Among the categories–which were split into eight sections based on company size, types of staffing and geographic location–four U.S. travel healthcare staffing firms took home Grand Prize honors, which are awarded to firms that score the highest in each category.

Those four Grand Prize winners from the 2019 Best Staffing Firms To Work For list are:

• Fusion Medical Staffing (Firms with 201-500 employees)
• LiquidAgents Healthcare (Firms with 51-200 employees)
• Health Providers Choice (Firms with 21- 50 employees)
• Austin Major Group (Firms with 10-20 employees)

Each category also had several notable travel healthcare staffing companies that didn’t win a Grand Prize but still placed in the top percentiles of their category, including Atlas Medstaff, Aya Healthcare and Medical Solutions.

About 400 staffing agencies participated in the 2019 awards program, which was conducted by SIA in conjunction with Quantum Workplace, according to the press release.

Internal employees at each firm were asked to complete a 40-question survey that measured specific quality-of-life and engagement categories, including trust in senior leaders, teamwork, manager effectiveness and more.

Staffing firms are not charged for their participation in the awards program and must have a minimum number of employees participate based on their size to ensure statistically sound results, according to the press release.

“Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Best Staffing Firm to Work For Awards,” Barry Asin, president of SIA said in a press release. “These high-performing companies stand out for their quality of leadership and as organizations that prioritize culture and employee engagement. There is a strong correlation between employee engagement and growth. These firms have made that connection and use it to excel in their business and drive outstanding results.”
