DPA's Goals

Support the Success of HR Modernization

We will work with the State Personnel Board and the Department of Finance to ensure the success of the HR Modernization Project. It is imperative, as the State's corporate human resource agency, that we provide leadership during this modernization.

Align Our Goals to Those of the Administration

DPA as a whole represents the State as the employer. In labor contract negotiations, the Labor Relations Division speaks for the Governor. We must constantly make sure that what we do as the employer is in alignment with what the Administration wants to accomplish.

Use Technology, Data, and Teams to Create Solutions

We are fortunate at DPA to have an extremely creative and progressive staff. In each of our divisions we have a great deal of diversity and skills. By combining the various competencies when we use teams, we tap into the best of each of us. Using data and technology to create innovative solutions saves our organization time and money, plus it provides the kind of customer service we strive to provide departments.

Invest in Our Own Employees to be a Model Department

Very often when departments are faced with budget shortfalls, the first thing to go is training. Here at DPA we feel it's even more important during these difficult fiscal times to properly train and equip our employees with the tools they need to do their jobs. We always want to strive to improve the quality of our workplace and make our department and the State an employer of choice.

Provide Superior Customer Service

As a control agency, we often struggle to find the balance between telling and consulting. It is our goal to provide superior customer service so all departments can be an employer of choice.
