Our Guiding Principles

state seal

The state of Indiana is a performance-based organization that recognizes and rewards employees for their successes and assists them in finding opportunities for career development and advancement.

The Indiana State Personnel Department provides human resource services to the executive branch of government.

Our guiding principles include:

  • Exemplify a professional approach with respect for, and dignity towards, our customers. Customer service is the nucleus of our efforts.
  • Provide measureable, solution-oriented services and support in employment, training, employee relations, benefits, performance management and compensation to our employees.
  • Meet the needs of each state agency and its unique challenges by providing human resource policies, procedures and best practices that are equitable, ethical and timely.
  • Practice inclusion so that employees feel they belong, are engaged and connected through their work to the objectives of the state of Indiana.
  • Offer continuous improvement to our efforts and provide the state of Indiana with a diverse, competent, committed and effective workforce.

These are the principles that guide our efforts to support the governor’s key initiatives.
