Eight is Great: FIT a 2022 NorthCoast 99 Award Winner
September 1, 2022
FIT Technologies has been named a 2022 NorthCoast 99 award winner, marking the eighth consecutive year that FIT has been recognized as one of Northeast Ohio’s best workplaces for top talent.
“It is our goal every year to be on the NorthCoast 99 and our leadership prioritizes initiatives that ensure we have a business and culture that attracts, develops, and retains top talent,” said FIT CEO Adam Tubbs. “We know how important it is to have top talent within our organization and a culture where every person feels trusted, supported, and valued.”
Winners of Northcoast 99, an annual recognition program developed and operated by ERC since 1999, 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.
“As an employee-owned company, we are consistently sharing FIT’s vision, strategy, and values with our team and finding ways for each person to see their contribution to FIT’s success,” Tubbs said. “In addition, our HR team, led by FIT Co-Founder and Chief People Officer Michelle Tomallo, continues to find ways to build an environment that is diverse and welcoming, where people can be their authentic selves.”
"More than a business award or event, NorthCoast 99 is a yearlong research program that ERC established to help make our region a long-term destination of choice for companies and high-performing individuals," said Samantha Marx, ERC's Director of Strategic Projects, who oversees the NorthCoast 99 program. "The data from this program helps employers adapt their policies and practices to attract and retain top-notch talent."
“One of the added benefits of being recognized through NC99 is that the thousands of responses from the applications are analyzed and presented in a research report from ERC,” Tomallo said. “The benchmarking in that report, along with ongoing feedback from our new hires and other employees drive FIT’s goals each quarter to help us continue to be a high-touch, high-functioning company.”
“It’s no surprise that the 2022 NorthCoast 99 winning organizations are leading our region! These outstanding companies prioritize the employee experience, offering attractive benefits and innovative policies that today’s workforce demands. We’re thrilled to recognize the winning companies and look forward to sharing their success stories,” said ERC President Kelly Keefe.
