CLEARWATER, Fla., March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BayCare has been named a 2026 Tampa Bay Times Top Workplace, marking its 12^th consecutive year earning this recognition. The award is based entirely on team member feedback and underscores BayCare's continued commitment to fostering a people‑first workplace culture across the Tampa Bay region.

"Being recognized as a Top Workplace for the 12^th consecutive year by the Tampa Bay Times speaks to BayCare's people‑first culture and our commitment to creating an environment where team members feel supported, empowered and able to grow," said BayCare President and CEO Stephanie Conners. "When we invest in our people, it enables them to be their best, which is reflected in the superior care we provide to our communities." 

The annual Top Workplaces list is determined through a confidential survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The survey measures key aspects of the employee experience, including whether team members feel Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, among other indicators of organizational health and culture.

"Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they're allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends."
