Friday Services has been named one of the 2026 Best Staffing Firms to Work For by Staffing Industry Analysts(SIA), a national recognition honoring firms that excel in employee engagement, leadership, and workplace culture.
The award places Friday Services among a select group of staffing firms across North America and reflects its long-standing commitment to building a people-first organization—one that directly translates into stronger outcomes for clients and candidates.
“SIA’s 2026 Best Staffing Firms to Work For program winners demonstrate the ability to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry by maintaining a steadfast commitment to culture, leadership, and adaptability,” said Ursula Williams, SIA President “By investing in and empowering their employees, they build stronger, more resilient businesses.”
Unlike many industry awards, this recognition is based largely on direct employee feedback, measuring key areas such as leadership, trust, team dynamics, and overall engagement. For Friday Services, it serves as a meaningful validation of the company’s belief that internal culture is the foundation of external success.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition, especially because it reflects the voice of our team,” said Lisa Sargent. “Our people are at the center of everything we do. When we invest in them, it directly impacts the level of service and partnership we deliver to our clients and candidates.”
This recognition builds on Friday Services’ recent American Staffing Association Care Award, which honored the top corporate social responsibility programs in the staffing industry—further reflecting the company’s commitment to both its people and the communities it serves.
More than 400 firms participated in this year’s program. Winners were selected based on employee survey results evaluating six core categories: communication and resources, individual needs, manager effectiveness, personal engagement, team dynamics, and trust in leadership.
For Friday Services, the recognition reinforces a broader philosophy: companies that prioritize their people are better positioned to solve today’s workforce challenges. By fostering a strong internal culture, the firm continues to deliver dependable talent, consistent hiring outcomes, and long-term workforce solutions across Western North Carolina.
