Fortune 500Baptist Health Makes FORTUNE'S Annual '100 Best Companies to Work For' List
FORTUNE magazine announced today that Baptist Health was named to the "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for 2011, which marks the 11th time the healthcare organization has earned this recognition.
 
This year, Baptist Health was ranked 42nd overall and 12th among large employers. The full list and related stories appear in the February 7 issue of FORTUNE, and now at http://fortune.com/bestcompanies
 
Baptist Health took the top spot on the list of employers with the most diversified staff in terms of minorities (73 percent). It also was ranked 11th for offering the highest paying hourly positions (37th for salaried employees), and was among the top 10 for onsite child care centers with the lowest monthly rates for 3 year-olds. 
 
Baptist Health, which will open a new hospital and create hundreds of new job opportunities in Miami-Dade County this year, was among 15 companies showcased for never having had a layoff. FORTUNE featured Baptist Health among a list of 26 companies that are actively hiring for at least 700 jobs.
 
"The secret to Baptist Health's success is really no secret - it's our wonderful people," said Brian E. Keeley, president and CEO. "We take great care of ensuring all of our new and long-time employees feel that they are part of our special culture every day, by listening to them and helping them in all areas of their lives so that they can in turn provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients."
 
Baptist Health employees have an extensive menu of work/life benefits, which include on-site child care, back-up care options for loved ones of any age, an award-winning employee wellness program with free fitness centers, one week paid parental leave, a $10,000 adoption benefit, free online and on-site educational offerings, and "LifeWorks," which offers all employees and their families 24/7 access to information and help with a wide range of issues.
