CLEARWATER, Fla., April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- BayCare, the largest community-based health system in the Tampa Bay area, has been named one of "America's Best Employers" by Forbes for the second year in a row and has moved up in the rankings. BayCare was ranked No.75 overall on the list of 500 employers. BayCare is also one of only 25 employers listed in the health care category.

"We are honored to be recognized for the second year in a row as a top employer by Forbes. Our most valuable resource is our team members. They are the ones who make us who we are as an organization," said Steve Mason, CEO of BayCare. "They bring their best efforts and positive attitudes to work every day, and we return their loyalty by being an employer who values what they do for our communities and the patients we serve."

The employers on the Forbes list were chosen based on an independent survey by Statista.com of 30,000 American employees working for large and mid-size U.S. firms, divisions of international companies, or institutions (including hospitals and government agencies). Respondents were asked to rate 30 work related attributes including how likely they would be to recommend their employer to someone else.
