Resources & Utilities (Female) 2020

The resources and utilities benchmark covers organizations that generate, distribute and sell energy and gas products and solutions, including renewable energy. Typical employee roles include both technicians and engineers in the field or on the road as well as those providing support from an office. This benchmark only includes Women employees. We use woman and man because most of our customers are using binary options.
