CLEVELAND — National Automotive Experts has been recognized by ERC as one of Northeast Ohio’s 99 best places to work, the company announced. This is the second year in a row that NAE/NWAN has received the NorthCoast 99 award. The award focuses on policies and practices related to the attraction and retention of top performers, as well as data collected from anonymous employee surveys.

“We are deliberate in our focus to engage and challenge our associates to grow themselves. We believe that their growth will allow us to continue to expand our organization and create an unforgettable experience for our clients,” said Kelly Price, CEO of NAE/NWAN. “My leadership team and I are honored to be recognized for these efforts for the second year in a row. I am reminded daily that none of this would be possible without the great support team that makes our company what it is today.”

Price and her team will attend the 20th annual NorthCoast 99 awards program on Sept. 18 at Hilton Cleveland Downtown. The event recognizes all 99 award-winning organizations through a night of entertainment, internationally known keynote speakers, and inspiring stories of great workplaces. This invitation-only event 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, all according to the announcement.

“We’re extremely honored to recognize the 2018 NorthCoast 99 winners.
