Lyndhurst, Ohio June 25, 2022 - For the third consecutive year, Julie Billiart Schools has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 honor by The cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

"Companies need to authentically represent their brand to job-seekers," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "The employee experience needs to be on the mission-critical list. Leaders who embrace a people-first culture will benefit greatly. By giving employees a voice and showcasing your authentic culture through employer branding, organizations can attract those job seekers who complement their culture. Culture drives performance."

Julie Billiart Schools employs more than 100 full-time and part-time employees including intervention specialists, specials teachers, therapists, behavioral supports, support staff, and administrators. This year, JB opened a third campus in Westlake, Ohio, and onboarded more than 30 new team members. As the organization continues to grow to three campuses and beyond, Lannie Davis-Frecker, President and CEO, believes that recruiting and retaining quality faculty and staff will be of the utmost importance.

“I am honored to be part of an organization that truly embodies what it means to be mission-based. Each and every member of our faculty and staff is the reason Julie Billiart Schools is what it is today,” said Lannie Davis-Frecker, President and CEO of Julie Billiart Schools. “To have won this award for the third year in a row is truly such an honor and a testament to our team. As our organization continues to grow, it's so important to do that responsibly and with the right people.”
