Sioux Falls, S.D. – June 19, 2026 – NorthWestern Energy announced it has been named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces 2026 by Newsweek and Plant A Insights Group, based on an evaluation of publicly available data and a confidential nationwide employee survey. The recognition highlights organizations that prioritize employee well-being, strong leadership, fair compensation and work-life balance.

This is the third time NorthWestern Energy has earned this recognition.

“This distinction reflects the exceptional people who power our company every day,” said NorthWestern Energy Vice President Customer Care, Communications and Human Resources Bobbi Schroeppel.  “Our more than 1,660 employees’ professionalism, expertise, and commitment to serving our customers around the clock are what make NorthWestern Energy a strong and dependable workplace. It stands as a meaningful acknowledgment of the pride our employees bring to their work and the care they show for the communities we serve.”

"We all want to work somewhere we feel valued,” said Newsweek Editor-In-Chief  Jennifer H. Cunningham. “Our newest research celebrates the companies making that a reality. When businesses put their people first, everyone wins—employees are happier, productivity goes up, and the company thrives.
