Empath Health Earns Great Place to Work® Certification for Second Consecutive Year

Lakewood Ranch, FL - Empath Health has once again been recognized as a Great Place to Work®, earning certification for the second consecutive year based entirely on feedback from its colleagues.

The nationally recognized certification is awarded through a comprehensive employee survey that measures workplace culture, trust, and overall employee experience. This year, more Empath Health colleagues participated in the survey than ever before, resulting in a 73% favorable rating, compared to the average 57% from a typical U.S.-based company. Notably, 89% of Empath colleagues agreed that their work has special meaning and is more than "just a job," reflecting the organization's deep commitment to purpose-driven care and service.

"This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our colleagues," said Jonathan Fleece, President and CEO of Empath Health. "Their feedback reflects the experiences, relationships, and sense of purpose that define our organization. While we're proud of this achievement, we're equally committed to continuing the work of listening, learning, and creating an even stronger colleague experience."

The certification reflects the culture that colleagues across Empath Health help create every day through collaboration, compassion, and a shared commitment to serving patients, families, and communities. It highlights the support colleagues provide one another during challenging moments and the meaningful connections that drive the organization's mission forward.

"Our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do," Fleece added. "The experience we create for one another directly influences the care and compassion we provide to those we serve. This achievement belongs to every member of the Empath Health team."

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading performance, employee retention, and innovation.
