The Core Values of the NYISO establish the foundation from which its responsibilities and accountabilities are delivered. In keeping with its Customer Focus core value, the NYISO has embarked on a company-wide effort to improve its overall customer service. The NYISO is investing in our people, processes, and tools to achieve "Best in Class" customer service. Building upon the previously implemented "Customer Satisfaction Index," the 2016 enhanced "Customer Satisfaction and Assessment of Performance" program independently measures two important aspects to the NYISO: customer satisfaction and realizing our mission through our performance.
The NYISO issues three survey platforms: a Customer Inquiry Survey, a Market Participant Survey and a CEO Strategic Outreach Survey. The Customer Inquiry Survey is offered at the conclusion of every customer inquiry and factors into the satisfaction calculation; the bi-annual Market Participant Survey provides measurements of satisfaction and performance, and the annual CEO Strategic Outreach Survey factors into the performance assessment.
