Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) has recognized Floyd Lee Locums’ CEO and Co-founder Natasha Lee in its prestigious 2025 Staffing 100 North America list.

This is SIA’s 14th year for the Staffing 100 North America list.
Lee’s recognition comes as the staffing industry continued to face significant turbulence in 2024. A downturn in temporary staffing, accelerated change due to new technologies, and ambiguity about the industry were just a few challenges. However, Lee successfully navigated the company through this uncertainty, highlighting her resilience and her ability to lead in times of adversity.
Remarkable Milestones and Industry Accolades

Her ability to adapt to changing market conditions while maintaining our commitment to exceptional service and community impacts has been instrumental in our success.

Broader Impact and Initiatives

Lee has been a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the business world. She serves as an Executive Coach for the Minority Business Accelerator Program in Charleston, SC, which pairs young minority businesses with executive and financial coaches for a year of mentoring. This program aims to amplify successful minority businesses in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive business landscape.

Within the company, Lee’s We Serve program encourages employees to engage in community service in their own communities on company time. In 2024, employees volunteered for more than 700 service dates, including responding to Hurricane Helene and the Omaha, Nebraska tornadoes. More than 20 employees organized a company packing party for Lowcountry Period Pixies while several team members participated in Flagstaff’s ARTx. Overall, the We Serve program benefited 104 organizations across the United States in 2024.
