Welcome to our Benefits Enrollment Showcase

We know how important benefits are for you and your family. That's why NorthWestern Energy is committed to offering competitive, comprehensive benefits that support you and your family.

Our benefits are designed to energize your life by focusing on four wellbeing categories - physical, mental, social and financial wellbeing. Our programs are designed to provide you peace of mind and protect you and your loved ones. Benefits for represented employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) may differ and are established by the terms of the applicable CBA.

Choosing your benefits takes careful thought and planning. This Benefits Showcase will help you learn about the benefits available to you and your family.

Medical Benefits

NorthWestern Energy is committed to providing you access to affordable, quality health care for you and your family.

Dental & Vision

As part of NorthWestern Energy's comprehensive benefit package, we offer employees the option to elect dental and vision coverage for themselves and their dependents.

Spending Accounts

NorthWestern Energy offers both an HSA and an FSA that allow employees to contribute pre-tax dollars that can be used to pay for qualified health care and dependent care expenses. The HSA can also serve as a valuable retirement savings tool.

Wellness Program

NorthWestern Energy is committed to employee health, safety and wellbeing. We believe providing robust wellbeing initiatives is key to promoting a healthy lifestyle and controlling healthcare expenses while encouraging and rewarding healthy behaviors.

Leave & Disability

NorthWestern Energy understands the value of benefits that provide important financial protection and security for you and your family in the event that you need to take time away from work.

Mental & Social Wellbeing

We offer an employee assistance plan (EAP), paid time off, holidays and adoption assistance.

Financial Wellbeing

No matter where you are on your journey to retirement, NorthWestern provides you the resources to help you prepare for the future you want through Fidelity Investments, which provides services to the 401(k) plan.

Supplemental Benefits

NorthWestern Energy offers employees access at no charge to Medicare, Social Security and post-retirement financial planning services through Transitions Benefit Group. The service can be utilized by employees for both themselves and their loved ones.
