CLEVELAND, September 2, 2021 — Oatey Co. is proud to be a recipient of the 2022 NorthCoast 99 Award from ERC, which recognizes Oatey for the 11th time as one of 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces.
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,” says Samantha Marx, Member Service Director at ERC, who oversees the program. “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.”
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 and inclusion.
