WBI Holdings provides numerous opportunities to qualified individuals for growth and advancement, both professionally and personally. The following are just some of the programs available to our employees.

Based on a formalized approach to career development planning, WBI Holdings may provide financial support for conferences, education and training that is beneficial to both employees and the company.

Mentor/Mentee Program - The “People Building People” Mentoring Program operated by MDU Resources Group is designed to help prepare our future leaders to fulfill their roles with the integrity and standards by which our corporation conducts business. The program gives employees the chance to develop and demonstrate leadership skills, gain exposure to other areas of the corporation and help focus on career goals and steps to achieve those goals.

The CEO's Conference is designed to provide a challenging opportunity for selected high-potential individuals to stretch themselves beyond their normal areas of responsibilities. As part of a three-member team, individuals study, research, network and use other methods to develop team consensus and report on a topic assigned by the chief executive officer of MDU Resources Group. This developmental opportunity provides increased visibility to those individuals who may not have the opportunity to present to and interface with the executive management team.

WBI Holdings’ internship programs offer students an opportunity to explore their chosen major and career with professionals working in the industry, as well as gain on-the-job experience by applying what they have learned in the classroom.

Award Programs – Each year MDU Resources and its subsidiary companies recognize efforts that go beyond the call of duty, protect the environment or showcase ingenuity. The various awards carry cash and/or MDU Resources common stock prizes. Employee efforts are recognized and appreciated.

Safety Awards – MDU Resources places employee safety at the highest priority. Recognition is given throughout the year to employees and teams helping create safe work environments and safe practices for their co-workers.

Community Service Awards – With operations spread throughout a wide region, WBI Holdings and MDU Resources’ employees serve their communities in a variety of ways. The community service awards help the company recognize employee dedication to their communities and organizations.

The corporation and its employees have responsibilities to the communities where we work and do business. We will be valued members of our communities and conduct the corporation’s business in a manner that respects and promotes the quality of life in those communities. WBI Holdings encourages employee involvement in community activities and professional organizations.

Charitable Activities – Our corporation’s locations throughout the United States participate in a variety of service areas and fundraising activities for local and national charities.

MDU Resources Foundation – MDU Resources is proud of its record of supporting qualified organizations that enhance quality of life. Since its incorporation, the foundation has contributed more than $13 million to worthwhile charities and organizations. Post-secondary education is a high priority for the foundation. It maintains two separate scholarship programs. One program is exclusively for the use of dependents and spouses of eligible employees. The other program consists of scholarships established at numerous institutions of higher education.
