Jackson Healthcare Earns PEOPLE’s “Companies That Care” Recognition for Second Consecutive Year
Jackson Healthcare®, a leading provider of healthcare workforce services in the United States, has once again been honored on the PEOPLE® Companies that Care list, marking its second consecutive appearance on the prestigious ranking. Published annually by PEOPLE in collaboration with Great Place To Work®, the list celebrates organizations that go beyond profit-making to demonstrate compassion, care, and a commitment to improving the lives of their employees, their local communities, and the broader world.
This recognition not only reflects the company’s workplace culture but also underscores its mission-driven approach to healthcare staffing, philanthropy, and community service.
A Company Built on “Others First”
For Jackson Healthcare, being named to the list is more than just an external recognition; it represents the company’s deep-rooted philosophy. Shane Jackson, president of Jackson Healthcare, described the honor as a validation of the values that guide the organization.
“Being named again to the PEOPLE Companies that Care list is a testament to our deeply rooted company mission and values,” Jackson said. “One of our core values, Others First, guides us in putting people at the center of everything we do. We prioritize caring for our team and empowering them to make a meaningful impact through their work.”
This guiding principle—Others First—is not limited to internal policies. It extends to how the company approaches its role in the healthcare sector and in society at large. By focusing on the well-being of its employees, patients, and communities, Jackson Healthcare continues to strengthen its reputation as not only an industry leader but also a corporate citizen committed to positive change.
Community Commitment Through LoveLifts
A cornerstone of Jackson Healthcare’s culture is its LoveLifts community impact platform, which mobilizes resources, volunteers, and partnerships to address pressing needs around the world. According to the company, LoveLifts has partnered with more than 450 nonprofit organizations globally, extending support across healthcare access, youth well-being, and educational initiatives.
“This recognition also reflects our deep commitment to providing a hand up in the communities in which we live, work, and serve,” Jackson added. “Through LoveLifts, we partner with hundreds of nonprofit organizations worldwide to improve access to healthcare and enhance the wellbeing of young people. This recognition from PEOPLE and Great Place To Work honors the passion and purpose of our people within our organization and beyond, and I could not be more proud.”
Through LoveLifts, employees are encouraged to participate actively in service opportunities. From volunteering in local schools to supporting healthcare missions abroad, the platform integrates giving back into the company’s identity. By aligning employees’ personal passions with organizational resources, Jackson Healthcare fosters a culture where community service is not a separate activity but an extension of everyday work.
Recognition from Industry Leaders
The PEOPLE Companies that Care list is not given lightly. It is based on data collected through the Great Place To Work Trust Index™ Survey, which evaluates whether employees experience fairness, respect, trust, and support across all roles and backgrounds. Additionally, organizations must provide detailed narratives with quantitative and qualitative insights, offering a holistic view of how they prioritize people and community.
Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, emphasized the importance of this recognition.
“Businesses are vital pillars in the communities where they operate,” Bush noted. “Caring for your people and your community isn’t something you do after you build a successful business; it’s how to make your business successful.”
This sentiment aligns closely with Jackson Healthcare’s operational philosophy. For the company, care is not an afterthought or a branding exercise—it is integrated into the very foundation of how it defines success.
Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE’s GM and editor-in-chief, highlighted the inspiration behind recognizing these companies. “Witnessing the innovative spirit with which these companies invest in their employees, communities and the world is truly invigorating,” she said. “Their commitment reflects our mission, to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work.”
Workplace Culture that Drives Impact
While community engagement is a visible aspect of Jackson Healthcare’s identity, the company also prioritizes the employee experience. Employees consistently cite the supportive workplace environment as one of the reasons the organization stands out in the healthcare services industry.
The company’s workplace programs are built on the belief that engaged, valued employees will deliver better care and service. Professional development opportunities, inclusive leadership, recognition programs, and employee wellness initiatives are woven into the fabric of daily operations. This holistic approach to workplace culture has positioned Jackson Healthcare as a frequent recipient of workplace excellence awards.
A Legacy of Workplace Excellence
The 2025 recognition on the PEOPLE Companies that Care list joins an already impressive roster of accolades for Jackson Healthcare. The organization is also recognized on the 2025 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, as well as the Best Workplaces for Women™ and Best Workplaces in Health Care™ rankings.
Moreover, Jackson Healthcare has maintained its Great Place To Work Certification™ for nearly a decade, signaling a consistent track record of high employee satisfaction and cultural excellence. Such sustained recognition demonstrates that the company’s culture of care is not a passing initiative but a long-term commitment.
The Broader Context: Healthcare and Responsibility
As one of the nation’s premier providers of healthcare workforce solutions, Jackson Healthcare plays a critical role in ensuring that hospitals, clinics, and care facilities have the staff they need to serve patients effectively. The company’s reach spans across specialties and geographies, and its workforce solutions are vital in addressing the ongoing challenges of healthcare staffing shortages.
In this context, Jackson Healthcare’s recognition as a “Company That Cares” takes on an even deeper significance. The healthcare sector is uniquely intertwined with the concepts of compassion, service, and care. By embedding these principles not only in patient interactions but also in employee relations and community engagement, Jackson Healthcare sets an example of what socially responsible healthcare staffing can look like.
