FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TalkingParents has been named to Florida Trend’s Best Companies To Work For list for the third consecutive year, earning the No. 8 spot among medium-sized companies in Florida.
Featured in the August issue of Florida Trend magazine, the annual rankings recognize organizations that excel in employee satisfaction, workplace practices, company culture, and leadership.
The recognition reflects TalkingParents’ continued investment in building a workplace centered on collaboration, growth, employee well-being, and a culture that helps support the company’s mission of serving co-parents and families nationwide.
“Our people are what make this a special workplace,” said Heather Ruiz, TalkingParents director of marketing. “What we’ve accomplished is possible because of a team that genuinely cares about one another and the families we serve. Creating an environment where people can grow, collaborate, and do meaningful work has always been one of our highest priorities.
It all goes back to the company values we uphold. We were built around empathy, accountability, and service, which not only shape our employees’ experience but also influence how TalkingParents supports the co-parents who depend on us throughout their journey.”
To participate, companies or government entities were required to have at least 15 workers in Florida and to be in operation for at least one year. Companies that chose to participate underwent an evaluation of their workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The process also included a survey to measure employee satisfaction. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“Our annual ‘Best Companies to Work For In Florida’ program is a reminder that great workplaces don’t happen by accident,” says Florida Trend Executive Editor Amy Keller. “The companies that stand out are intentional about investing in their people, creating opportunities for them to grow and building environments where employees want to be. This year, we also explore how many are thoughtfully bringing people back to the office — not simply as a policy shift, but as a way to strengthen collaboration, mentorship and culture. Their examples offer a practical roadmap for any organization looking to attract, retain and inspire great talent.”
“Standing out from their competition… this year’s group of Best Companies To Work For In Florida set a path forward for others to follow,” says Florida Trend President and Publisher David Denor. “Enterprising in their industries – these creative and inspiring companies recruit, retain and deliver distinctive workplace environments and employee benefits plans to keep their teams engaged, involved and constantly collaborating. These dynamic and innovative organizations deliver a glimpse into future workplace environments.”
