Western Reserve Hospital is proud to be recognized by ERC as one of 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent. This is the 8th consecutive year the organization has received the prestigious NorthCoast 99 Award.
NorthCoast 99 is an annual recognition program and event in its 23rd year that honors 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent.
“More than a business award or event, NorthCoast 99 is a yearlong research project that ERC established to help make our region a long-term destination of choice for companies and high-performing individuals. The data from this program helps employers stay current on organizational practices and understand what top performers want and need so they can be responsive,” said Samantha Marx, Member Service Director at ERC, who oversees the program.
NorthCoast 99 winners participated in a rigorous application process that asked for detailed information on how their organization addresses top-performer attraction, development, and retention in the following areas: organizational strategy, policies, and benefits; talent attraction, acquisition and onboarding; employee well-being; employee engagement and talent development; total rewards; and diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Receiving this award for the eighth year in a row truly solidifies our dedication to our employees at Western Reserve Hospital,” said Heather L. Milicevic, Vice President and CHRO, Western Reserve Hospital. “A strong workplace culture helps drive employee engagement, and we are proud to be recognized for this key distinction within our company.”
“Talent wins in today’s labor market. The NorthCoast 99 winners know this so they continue to build progressive and innovative HR practices and benefits to attract and retain the best and brightest. We’re thrilled to recognize the 2021 winning organizations and look forward to sharing their success stories,” said Kelly Keefe, President of ERC.
