"Minnesota citizens need to be confident that state government and its employees are working smart and effectively with tax dollars. Good workplace environments and competitive compensation enable us to find and keep talented and motivated public servants who make government work to the benefit of all Minnesotans. We continue to focus on human resource services which can provide full value to the taxpayers, citizens, and employees of this great State."
