Texas RE has been named a top workplace by the Austin American-Statesman for the fourth year in a row. This year, only 117 companies made the list and Texas RE ranked 4th among small companies in the Austin, TX area. Texas RE’s workplace-experience rating increased from 92% to 94% this year.
The recognition is based solely on employee feedback from an anonymous survey that measures 15 cultural drivers that are critical to organizational success.
Employees described Texas RE as inclusive, committed to excellence, and guided by integrity. All three of these are among Texas RE’s cultural values. These descriptions are supported by the survey results with:
- 95% of employees feel respected and supported,
- 91% feel engaged,
- 96% have confidence in Texas RE management, believe the organization operates by strong values, and feel a part of something meaningful.
Our culture is about working together with a shared purpose: supporting a reliable electric grid while creating a workplace where people feel connected and their contributions matter. Helping to keep the lights on for Texans directly affects everyone in our state. Homes, businesses, and communities all depend on reliable electricity. That connection turns daily responsibilities into a shared commitment to work that matters beyond our walls. As one anonymous survey respondent wrote, “Texas RE empowers each of us to feel like a leader, and that our work makes an impact on the overall mission of the organization.”
In addition to being named a top workplace, Texas RE was also ranked first among small companies for work-life balance. The grid never takes a day off, but supporting its reliability shouldn’t mean being always on. Protecting work-life balance means planning for coverage, respecting time away so people can truly disconnect, and offering staff the resources to they need. Each year Texas RE offers up to three Work Offsite Weeks (WOWs) in addition to office-wide WOWs for certain holidays. Additionally, Texas RE offers generous paid time off packages and encourages staff to take the time that they have earned. Our commitment to the mission goes hand in hand with our commitment to the people behind it—making room for both meaningful work and a full life outside of work.
