6 FL Employers Make Fortune's Best Companies To Work For 2026 List

Six companies headquartered in Florida were named to Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list, reflecting the state's strong presence in this year's rankings.

Coral Gables-based Baptist Health South Florida ranked in the top 50 of the annual list released Wednesday by Fortune in partnership with Great Place to Work.

The ranking evaluates companies largely on confidential employee surveys measuring trust, job satisfaction and workplace culture.

The 2026 list was topped by Synchrony, a Connecticut-based financial services and insurance company, followed by Hilton, a Virginia-based hospitality company.

Baptist Health South Florida ranked 45th nationally and first in the Sunshine State. According to survey results, 87 percent of employees said the health care company is a great place to work.

"I never feel like I'm going to 'work.' I love my career. My coworkers are like a second family. Patients will often thank us, tell us how well they have been treated and how much they appreciate what we do - some even tear up because of how appreciative they are," an employee said.

"I can't say enough good things about my director. She listens, cares and always follows through with any changes and pushes to improve our department. It really makes such a difference coming to work with people smiling, laughing and just taking the time to ask you how you are doing or wishing you a good day. I am proud to work here!

To be considered for the Fortune list, companies must employ at least 1,000 workers in the U.S. and be certified by Great Place to Work.

This year's rankings were based on feedback from more than 1.3 million employees nationwide. Only companies with consistently high responses across 60 survey statements earned placement on the list, according to Fortune.

These are the Florida companies that made the list:

• Baptist Health South Florida, Coral Gables, health care, No. 45
• Publix Super Markets, Lakeland, retail, No. 50
• The Breakers Palm Beach, Palm Beach, hospitality, No. 71
