Pomerene Hospital is proud to be recognized by ERC as one of 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent. This is the 16th 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. “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.


“We could not be more thrilled to receive the NorthCoast 99 Award for our 16th year!" said Jackie Genetin, Human Resources Director at Pomerene. "Despite the crazy year we all faced, this award shows how resilient our Pomerene employees were and continue to be. We look forward to celebrating this award as it represents a monumental time that we have all overcome, for the people who deserve it the most; our Pomerene people.”  


“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.

 

"I concur with Mrs. Keefe, talent is what helps organizations meet their mission and represents a competitive difference in today’s market place." exclaimed Jason Justus, Pomerene Hospital CEO. "We believe in our employees and the value they bring to Pomerene each day. During 2020 our employees were invaluable in our ability to serve our community and to fulfill our role as “essential workers.” We will continue striving to meet the needs of our employees and their families because they are a part of our Pomerene family. 


The 2021 NorthCoast 99 Awards program is sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield; CareerCurve; Cleveland Magazine; ERChealth; Gino’s Awards; Impact Architects; Maloney + Novotny; Meyers, Roman, Friedberg & Lewis; Oswald Companies; Staffing Solutions Enterprises; UKG; and Wayfind Creative.
