TalkingParents has been named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces list for the third consecutive year, the Fort Walton Beach-based company announced Thursday.

• The recognition is based on a comprehensive evaluation of hundreds of applicants, including a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. The survey covered management effectiveness, perks, professional development and overall company culture, and each company’s benefits were audited to determine the final score.

“We built this culture on purpose, with intention,” said Vince Mayfield, founder of TalkingParents. “Three years of this recognition tells me the same thing I’ve believed for 25 years, leading two businesses. It’s about investing in people, giving them a voice, and caring about their growth. Those are key components that create a lasting foundation and a workplace people are proud to be a part of.”

TalkingParents launched in 2011 with the goal of giving co-parents a way to communicate with accountability and without conflict. The company has since grown alongside the nearly one million families it supports, with a culture the company says mirrors what it aims to create for those families: a space built on transparency, respect and the belief that people do better when they feel heard.

The recognition comes as TalkingParents and its sister company, Bit-Wizards, prepare to move into a new 50,869-square-foot dual headquarters at Freedom Tech Center on Lewis Turner Boulevard. The companies broke ground on the project in October and have said the new building will employ more than 200 people, including more than 100 new positions.

This year’s Inc. list recognized 507 companies.

“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture, it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
