RICHFIELD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OEConnection LLC, the parts e-commerce technology leader for OEM distribution networks, has been named one of Ohio’s Best Employers for a fifth time. Dedicated to finding and recognizing Ohio’s best places to work, Best Employers in Ohio is a program provided by Best Companies Group in conjunction with the Ohio Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) State Council. The 2012 Best Employers in Ohio list is made up of 35 companies throughout the state.
OEConnection joins 16 other companies recognized as an employer of choice in the program’s Small/Medium category, defined as companies with 15-249 associates. This recognition takes an honored place alongside the company’s eight consecutive NorthCoast99 awards, which recognize leading companies that support the attraction and retention of top performers, as well as the highly-regarded Weatherhead 100 distinction, honoring the region’s fastest-growing companies. Additionally, in both 2011 and 2012, OEConnection was named a finalist for the Automotive News PACE Award, the automotive industry’s premier technology award honoring superior innovation among automotive suppliers.
“We are thrilled to be counted among the best employers in the state of Ohio,” commented Chuck Rotuno, the company’s President & CEO, of this latest honor. “As one of Ohio’s top technology companies, OEConnection is committed to creating an environment that attracts, motivates, and retains the best talent available. This allows us to deliver on our mission of providing top-notch technology solutions to automakers and their franchised dealers, which enable them to increase sales and profits, improve customer satisfaction, and drive brand loyalty,” Rotuno continued.
To be considered for the Best Employers honor, OEConnection completed a two-part process that included submission of information about company policies, practices, benefits, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part of the process – worth 75% of the total score – was an online survey distributed to every Ohio-based associate. The confidential survey, used to evaluate workplace experience, asked OEConnection associates to rate the company’s leadership, communications, compensation and benefits, environment, community focus and more.
