CHICAGO – The Jacobson Group is a recipient of Best Companies Group’s 2026 America’s Best Workplaces Awards, which identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment across the United States.
Held in partnership with BridgeTower Media, the program is a celebration of excellence in company culture that honors numerous employers and ranks the Top 10 workplaces in small, medium and large business categories. Winners were previously recognized by Best Companies Group in at least one other data-driven recognition program. The Jacobson Group was also named to the inaugural list last year, and was named a Best Place to Work in Insurance by Best Companies Group and Business Insurance magazine for the sixth time earlier this year.
“Being named one of America’s Best Workplaces is an honor that reflects Jacobson’s ongoing commitment to our people and culture,” said Corey Pinkham, president of The Jacobson Group. “As the leading provider of talent to the insurance industry, we know having the right people in place – and cultivating an environment where they enjoy coming to work each day – is essential to our ability to best serve our candidates and clients.”
“The 2026 America’s Best Workplaces are the best of the best in the United States. These businesses know that the people in their organizations are the key to their success, and they create environments that result in teamwork and excellence,” said Jaime Raul Zepeda, executive vice president of Best Companies Group + COLOR Magazine. “At Best Companies Group, we are pleased to join with BridgeTower Media in celebrating these outstanding employers.”
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings. The rankings were determined using Best Companies Group’s algorithm. The algorithm used data from each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, as well as data from an employee survey that measured the employee experience. The overall scores determined which workplaces were recognized and which were ranked in the top of their category.
America’s Best Workplaces winners and final rankings will be announced at The Best Workplace Summit on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 3 p.m. CST. This event will celebrate the live reveal of America’s Best Workplaces Awards and provide real-world HR strategies during an employer panel discussion.
