Richfield, Ohio, Sept. 7, 2023 – Navigate360 has been named a 2023 NorthCoast 99 award winner by ERC, the Employers Resource Council. The NorthCoast 99 award honors 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent. This is the third time that Navigate360 has received the prestigious NorthCoast 99 award.
“Our 2023 NorthCoast 99 recognition is a testament to all of our team members’ hard work and passion for our culture, mission, values, and each other,” said Navigate360 CEO JP Guilbault. “In addition to our national Great Place to Work® Certification™, the NorthCoast 99 award is another acknowledgment that our organization attracts, develops, and retains top performers – people who drive innovation through the pursuit of our mission to end targeted school violence and self-harm and to put school communities on a path to growth and success. Whole-child safety takes the whole community, and it is that shared belief that makes a difference.”
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 areas of 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.
“Navigate360 stands for an equitable world and workplace; for inclusivity and respect for people, their views and their practices; for seeing possibilities and building bridges to a world absent of fear; and for kindness, passion, and purpose. Without our dedicated employees, none of this is possible. I am humbled and honored every day to be part of this organization,” Guilbault continued.
“It has been incredible to see the evolution of top workplaces over the last 25 years through the NorthCoast 99 program. While much has changed since the program’s founding in 1999, prioritizing the employee experience has remained a common theme among winning organizations. Year after year, the winners have developed innovative policies and offered exceptional benefits to attract, engage, and retain talented workers. We look forward to recognizing this year’s winners and sharing their success stories,” said ERC President Kelly Keefe.
“Maintaining this recognition is not something we take lightly. Our mission and our employee experience go hand in hand, and we make them top priority every single day,” added Navigate360 Chief Human Resources Officer Alex Teodosio. “We owe our continued success to our dedicated employees. They are the reason for this recognition, and we look forward to attracting, cultivating, and maintaining additional talent as we continue to grow our award-winning team. Our world needs Navigate360 and everyone who supports our meaningful initiatives.”
