Welcome to the 2016 edition of Florida Trend’s Book of Lists, a
compendium of the largest companies in the state.
Florida Trend magazine is celebrating its 57th year in business, and
throughout that time the magazine has provided both insight and sales
leads to executive readers in every corner of the state. Just how many
corners does Florida contain?
Well, Florida is a large and diverse place ranging some 835 miles in
driving distance from Key West in the far south to Pensacola in the
northwest region. The population today has hit 20 million and we
foresee another quarter million each year.
So it’s hard to know everyone and everywhere. That’s where Florida
Trend’s Book of Lists comes into play, because facts and data drive
business success just as much as insight and intuition.
We have gathered together the many lists published throughout
the year—from top public companies and private companies to the
accountants and lawyers that serve them. We have key locations such
as airports and seaports. We list the hospitals and colleges and utilities.
And of course we list the banking institutions that provide the financing
to keep business rolling.
You will note that these top companies don’t come from just one city or
region but in fact exist across the geography.
Please let me know any other listings we can provide to ensure your
success. Then please use the Book of Lists along with the regular
monthly issues of Florida Trend to stay in touch with the growth and
diversity of Florida.
With best regards,
— Andy Corty

Florida’s BEST COMPANIES
The 100 companies that made the cut in our seventh annual
Best Companies to Work For rankings
THE LIST
To identify Florida’s best employers, FLORIDA TREND partnered with the
Best Companies Group, which surveyed firms that chose to participate.
Any firm with at least 15 employees in Florida, including firms based
outside the state, could participate at no cost.
The first part of the survey involved a questionnaire about company
policies, practices and demographics. The second part went to a randomly
selected group of each firm’s employees, who responded–anonymously–
to 72 statements on a five-point agreement scale.
The survey also included two open-ended questions and seven
demographic questions. The questions focused on eight themes:
Leadership and planning; corporate culture and communications; role
satisfaction; work environment; relationship with supervisor; training
and development; pay and benefits; and overall engagement.
Firms were divided into three groups–large companies of 250 or more
U.S. employees, midsized companies of 50 to 249 U.S. employees and
small companies of fewer than 50 U.S. workers.
Contract employees were not included in employee surveys and not
added to employee counts.
