NorthCoast 99 winners, recognized by ERC as great workplaces in Northeast Ohio, tend to have more flexible workplaces than most in Northeast Ohio and across the U. S. According to ERC, NorthCoast 99 winners more often offer flexible work arrangements such as compressed work weeks, flexible work hours, job sharing, part-time options, and telecommuting/work-at-home options. In addition, Northeast Ohio organizations tend to offer more in terms of compressed work weeks, flex hours, and job sharing opportunities compared to national averages.

“Top performers are looking for organizations that support their lives in and out of the workplace,” explains Marty Mordarski, Manager of Workplace Research for ERC. “Offering flexible work arrangements can help people better balance their responsibilities at home and at work, and can also allow employers to tap into significant talent pools that cannot work a traditional work schedule.”

Hosted by ERC, NorthCoast 99 recognizes organizations that have excelled in attracting, motivating and retaining top performers in Northeast Ohio. Organizations interested in learning more about great workplace development should visit www. northcoast99.org.

ERC is the area's largest organization dedicated to HR and workplace programs, practices, training and consulting. The organization also hosts NorthCoast 99 and sponsors the ERC Health insurance program. For more information about ERC, check out www. ercnet. org.
