Cuyahoga County Misses Top Workplace Ranking: What's Going On?
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is facing some workplace challenges. Recent employee surveys, conducted by cleveland.com's partner Energage, revealed that the county did not make the cut for the annual Top Workplace rankings. This news comes after the county's Human Resources office shared the disappointing results from surveys completed by its 5,000 employees. The county is now investing nearly $20,000 to analyze the feedback, including over 5,000 comments from nearly 2,000 employees, to understand the reasons behind the low scores.
Beyond the county's workplace woes, the news roundup covers a diverse range of topics. Local news includes updates on a new $1.1 billion terminal planned for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and a temporary closure of the Glenville fire station due to roof leaks.
