CLEVELAND, OHIO, October 7, 2021 – Barnes Wendling CPAs has been recognized by ERC as one of 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent. This is the 11th time that our 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. Samantha Marx, Member Service Director at ERC who oversees the program explains, “More than a business award or event, NorthCoast 99 is a year-long 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.”
The winners of the NorthCoast 99 Award participated in a rigorous application process that requested 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.
Commenting on the valuable and prestigious achievement, Barnes Wendling CPAs President Jeffrey Neuman states, “This past year has been a difficult one for everyone. It has tried and tested our systems, our technologies, and most importantly, our team members. We are very proud of how the entire company has banded together while working remotely to deliver exceptional and outstanding client service under such adverse and stressful conditions.”
“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.
