We are thrilled to announce that Fairport Wealth has been named one of Crain’s Cleveland Business 2024 Best Employers in Ohio, ranking 7th out of 32 in the small business category! For the complete list of winners and rankings, click here.

The full Best Employers in Ohio list was announced at an event on Aug. 15. The ranking of the 45 top employers debuted online following the event and appeared in the Aug. 19 print issue of Crain’s Cleveland Business. 

The awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best companies to work for in Ohio. In partnership with Workforce Research Group, thousands of employees and their employers were surveyed on the working conditions, benefits and corporate culture that make a company a great place to work. Winners were determined by the results of Workforce Research Group’s weighted surveys. To be considered for participation, companies had to: 

  • Be a publicly or privately held business, either for-profit or nonprofit. 
  • Have a physical operation in Ohio. 
  • Have a minimum of 15 full-time or part-time employees. 

Determining the Best Employers in Ohio involved a two-step process. The first consisted of evaluating each company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 20% of the total evaluation. The second consisted of employee surveys to assess their experiences and attitudes. This part was worth approximately 80% of the total evaluation. Workforce Research Group managed the survey process and analyzed the data, using its expertise to determine the final ranking.
