We’re excited to announce that ERC President Kelly Keefe has been selected for the Leadership Cleveland Class of 2020! Kelly will join a community of 1,800 leaders who have participated in the program over the past 41 years.
ERC is committed to giving back to the communities we serve. Today, our staff took time out of the workday to volunteer at MedWish International. We helped repurpose discarded medical supplies and equipment for humanitarian aid in developing countries.
“I was blown away by all MedWish International does as an organization. And also the impact that our organization made by volunteering! I believe that we receive more by giving more,” said ERC President Kelly Keefe. “Each day, I truly grow more grateful to be surrounded by such talented, dedicated, and all-around good colleagues.”
ERC’s heart for service also extends throughout the year. Twice a month, our staff members take turns delivering meals to homebound, disabled, and elderly residents who are unable to shop or prepare meals as part of the Hillcrest Meals on Wheels program.
Spring has sprung, and it’s (almost) time to put away your winter coat. During any workplace season, it’s easy in HR to get caught up in managing the day-to-day, so we’ve put together a list of items you should consider adding to your master clean-up list.

As HR leaders and professionals continue to fight for (and maintain) their seat at the table, it’s important to move beyond just being an expert into a role of being a trusted advisor to the organization.
Do you currently have an employee who has one foot out the door? There are endless reasons for voluntary turnover, and data from ERC’s 2018 NorthCoast 99 Top Performer Survey specifically identifies four of the most commonly cited sources of disengagement.
Whether you work for a Fortune 500 company or a small mom-and-pop machine shop, chances are performance reviews aren’t very high up on the list of your employee’s favorite things to do at work. Whatever the shortfalls, perceived or real, of the performance management process at your organization, the angst around reviews is only magnified when working through the process with employees who receive less than stellar ratings.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage ourselves and our relationships effectively. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is also an important indicator when it comes to performance prediction. EQ is responsible for 58% of your performance (Travis Bradberry).
A new year brings New Year’s Resolutions. The most common personal resolutions are to be more health conscious, work out more, and spend more time with friends and family. But what about your professional life?
