Our Vision

Be a high-performing state workforce that capitalizes on its diversity, purposely embraces not only its collective mixture of differences, but recognizes and values the differences and the power of inclusion, and empowers all employees to deliver the best public service.

Our Mission

To strive to become a workforce that is reflective of the population it serves and recognized as the “employer of choice for all” in state government for recruiting, retaining, and sustaining a ready, diverse, and highly-skilled workforce. We will ensure that policies and practices support an inclusive culture, not only in a manner that complies with all applicable laws, but also fosters an environment in which every individual has the opportunity to prosper and contribute to the mission of their agency.

Our Commitment

The Diversity and Inclusion Unit within the Office of Workforce Engagement will continuously work towards a path forward in achieving a sustainable transformative workplace where subtle, overt, interpersonal and formal discrimination becomes a thing of the past. The path forward will enable us to consciously audit HR processes from talent acquisition to talent off-boarding and remove barriers that prevent state government to progress from non-compliance to “employer of choice for all”.
