PRESS RELEASE | NYISO Named One of the Capital Region’s Top Workplaces
Rensselaer, NY | The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by the Albany Times Union.
“There has never been a more exciting time to participate in the energy industry, and the NYISO is fortunate to have a team of dedicated, highly-skilled people who have a passion for what they do,” said President and CEO Brad Jones. “We’re excited to have been selected for this award.”
The selection was based on an independent survey of employees measuring qualities such as company leadership, execution, ethics and integrity, organizational alignment, career opportunities and benefits.
