The Washington State Department of Personnel is the central human resource agency for state government.

 

We provide a full range of human resource services to state agencies, higher education institutions, state employees, and—in some instances—to other public sector and non-profit organizations.

 

The Department of Personnel is committed to building a state workforce where employees:

• Have the right skills to be productive and successful;
• Are equipped with the tools and infrastructure to do their jobs;
• Have a workplace environment that is diverse, supportive and performance-driven;
• Are dedicated to serving the public and giving to their communities.

 

This commitment is shared by our management team and supported by our mission and values.
