The ranking is derived from a rigorous analysis of over 970,000 employee survey responses gathered by Great Place To Work. To qualify, organizations must maintain certification and submit detailed accounts of their impact on staff welfare and regional development. For BayCare, this recognition follows a string of accolades, including being named a Top Workplace by USA TODAY for three consecutive years and earning a 22nd-place finish on the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care list.

Stephanie Conners, president and CEO of BayCare, credited the organization's staff for the achievement. She noted that the daily efforts of team members in patient care and mutual support remain the primary drivers of the health system's mission. The Florida-based network currently operates 16 hospitals and serves as the region’s largest provider of pediatric and behavioral health services.
