At ERC, we work with leaders to build better workplaces and solve the challenges that don’t come with easy solutions—like compensation, employee relations, training, and engagement.
You can stop endlessly searching for answers you’re not sure you can trust. Need to benchmark compensation? We’ll research it, analyze it, and give you recommendations. Employee relations issue? We’ll walk you through exactly what to do. Need training for your team? We’ll design and deliver it.
What sets us apart is our relationship-first approach. You’ll work with real people who have deep, practical HR experience. We speak your language, understand your challenges, and bring reliability and warmth that makes us feel like a trusted partner, not just another vendor.
And we’re committed to our region’s success. ERC founded the NorthCoast 99 awards program, honoring 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent. Our team serves on boards of prominent Northeast Ohio organizations, we sponsor events throughout the region, and we’ve been proudly supporting this community for over 100 years.
