CLEVELAND — National Automotive Experts (NAE)/NWAN was recognized by ERC as one of Northeast Ohio’s 99 best places to work for the third consecutive year, the company announced.

This year’s program highlights best practices and workplace trends from the NorthCoast 99 winning organizations in five critical areas, including organizational strategy, hiring, and employee wellbeing, engagement and development.

“We are committed to engaging and challenging our associates to be the best they can be, not only as associates, but also as members of the community,” said Kelly Price, CEO of NAE/NWAN. “We strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others with every interaction. My team and I are humbled to be recognized as a top employer in Northeast Ohio for the third year in a row.”

Price will attend an invitation-only awards ceremony that draws nearly 1,000 business leaders from around Northeast Ohio. Attendees range from CEO’s of the region’s leading organizations to business and HR leaders from each winning organization.

“We’re thrilled to recognize and celebrate this year’s NorthCoast 99 award winners,” said Kelly Keefe, president of ERC. “With unemployment at a 49-year-low, the benchmarks for attracting, engaging, and retaining employees are higher than ever. Year after year, winning organizations are raising the bar with increasingly progressive and groundbreaking HR practices and benefits that elevate the experience of their employees.”
