Centric Consulting has received the NorthCoast 99 award for the fifteenth time, recognizing it as one of 99 Northeast Ohio workplaces that excel at attracting and retaining top talent.
Founded and produced by the ERC (Employers Resource Council), the award honors companies with policies and practices that attract, develop, and retain high-performing employees — people who drive results, create competitive advantage, and help businesses innovate and grow.
“Earning this award for the 15th time is a reflection of the incredible people who make Centric what it is. In a world that continues to evolve at a rapid pace, our team consistently brings creativity, innovation, and fresh thinking to every challenge,” said Kindra Helm, Centric’s Cleveland Practice Lead. “What makes this recognition even more meaningful is that we pair exceptional talent with a culture of collaboration, authenticity, and genuinely enjoyable people to work alongside every day. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and excited for what’s ahead.”
NorthCoast 99 winners participated in a rigorous application process that required detailed information on how their organizations address top-performer attraction, development, and retention in the areas of employee engagement and talent development; employee well-being; organizational strategy, policies, and benefits; talent attraction, acquisition, and onboarding; and total rewards.
Centric’s learning and talent development mission cultivates a culture of upskilling, reskilling, and cross-skilling. Employees can access thousands of courses through LinkedIn Learning, guided by personalized strategic plans that align with professional goals and client delivery.
Last year, Centric also earned a special category award for employee engagement and talent development.
