Creating an exceptional workplace culture is no small feat. In fact, it takes a lot of intentionality and focus to sustain a culture where employees truly feel motivated, engaged and respected. At MISO, we work hard to ensure we’re living our core values every day and continuously contributing to a diverse and inclusive work environment. And we’re both honored and humbled when our employees affirm our efforts by sharing their positive experiences in best-in-class workplace surveys.

Recognition Across the Board

Indeed, our commitment to investing in our people and culture has not gone unnoticed. Recently, we won workplace awards across all our regions: north, central and south. We received Best Places to Work awards in Indiana and Arkansas, and a Top Workplaces award in Minnesota. Additionally, we were recognized as a top veteran employer by VETS Indexes for our efforts to hire, retain, promote and support veterans.

“These recognitions are a testament to the hard work, dedication and collaborative spirit of our collective team,” said Clair Moeller, president and chief operating officer. “Our team’s unwavering enthusiasm, creativity and commitment made this achievement possible, and we’re looking forward to continuing to raise the bar.” 

“Being recognized is an honor and a reflection on our entire organization, where our culture is anchored in our core values,” said Julie Munsell, executive director of culture & talent. “Winning these awards is not just a recognition of our past efforts, but also motivation for us to continue striving for excellence.” 

Winning these four awards highlights what makes working at MISO so special. At the heart of our company is a culture that values collaboration, respect and inclusivity. The work we do matters, and how we treat our people does too. That’s why we remain committed to investing in a few priority areas for our employees:

Empowering Professional Growth

A cornerstone of our workplace culture is our commitment to the professional growth of our employees. We offer continuous learning and mentorship opportunities, and training programs that are not only designed to enhance skills, but also inspire innovation and creativity. By investing in our people, we’re investing in the future of our company.

Prioritizing Work-Life Balance

We understand that a healthy work-life balance is crucial for the wellbeing of our employees. That’s why we offer a hybrid work environment and comprehensive health and wellness programs. We encourage employees to take the time they need for personal development, family and relaxation. A balanced life leads to a more focused and energized workforce, and this philosophy has played a crucial role in our recognition as a top workplace.

Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are integral to our company’s identity. We celebrate the unique backgrounds, perspectives and talents that each employee brings to the table. Our diversity initiatives help foster an environment where different ideas and viewpoints are encouraged and celebrated, which helps fuel innovation and drive our company forward.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate these achievements, we’re also looking to the future. We’re committed to continuously improving and evolving our workplace culture. Our goal is to not only maintain our status as a best-in-class employer, but also set new standards for what it means to be a great place to work.
