The Employee Resource Council (ERC) has named Centric Consulting a 2024 NorthCoast 99 award winner. The NorthCoast 99 award honors 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for attracting and retaining top talent. This is the 13th consecutive time Centric Cleveland has received the prestigious NorthCoast 99 award.
“Twenty-six years ago, ERC launched the NorthCoast 99 awards program and event to help our region become a prime destination for companies and high-performing individuals,” said Samantha Marx, ERC’s Director of Strategic Projects, who oversees the NorthCoast 99 program. “Beyond being a sought-after accolade, this yearlong research initiative offers employers valuable insights and data into policies and practices that successfully attract and retain top talent.”
NorthCoast 99 winners participated in a rigorous application process that asked for detailed information about how their organization addresses top-performer attraction, development, and retention in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion; employee engagement and talent development; employee well-being; organizational strategy, policies, and benefits; talent attraction, acquisition, and onboarding; and total rewards.
“This award reflects our ongoing commitment to creating an exceptional workplace where top talent can thrive,” said Kindra Helm, Centric’s Cleveland Practice Lead. “By focusing on key areas like employee well-being, professional development, and inclusive practices, we’ve built a culture that not only attracts the best and brightest, but also empowers them to reach their full potential. This recognition validates our efforts and inspires us to continue raising the bar in making our organization a great place to work.”
Centric‘s Cleveland practice opened in 2008 and has grown steadily over the years. The team has worked with many diverse local clients, from smaller mid-market companies to blue-chip Fortune 500 companies. “We’re very proud to have seen numerous of our local colleagues build their skills here, grow their impact to our clients, and move on to leadership positions at a national level,” Helm added.
“Winning NorthCoast 99 is not easy. This group of 99 employers is constantly evolving, listening, and responding to the needs and desires of today’s talent. We commend the 2024 winners for setting a benchmark for excellence,” said ERC President Kelly Keefe.
