Supporting our soldiers at home and abroad
Supporting our military employees is not just a policy, it is part of Basin Electric’s commitment to serving our country and our workforce. We proudly supports our soldiers at home and abroad, including employees serving on active duty and those with an immediate family member on active duty who has sustained an injury or is recovering from serious illness.
In recognition of our commitment, Basin Electric received the Extraordinary Employer Support Award in 2017 from the U.S. Department of Defense and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. This prestigious award honors organizations that demonstrate sustained support for National Guard and Reserve service. This distinction is the highest recognition given by the U.S. government for exceptional employer support of Guard and Reserve employees.
Our commitment extends beyond recognition—we provide regular pay raises during deployments and maintain an “open door” policy for the families of deployed employees, ensuring they receive the support they need while their loved one is away.
Employee perspective
“Basin Electric has been very supportive of my military career, whether it be long drill weekends, annual trainings, military schools, or deployments. It’s reassuring to know I have a job to come home to and a work environment that supports the military.”
- Eric Bender, Basin Electric logistics administrator and Platoon Sergeant for SHOOTER BATTERY 1-188th Air Defense Artillery.
