Employee Engagement​ Initiatives


The Commonwealth of Kentucky strives to create a work environment that values each and every employee. Employee Engagement initiatives ​encompass varying management styles, ways of thinking, leadership abilities, skill levels, experiences, viewpoints, expression of thoughts, and differing ways to deliver services to the citizens we serve. 

The Office of Employee Engagement and Training (OEET) strives to be a driving force for creating a workplace culture in which every employee feels valued, respected, and supported. A strategic plan has been developed to outline programming and services designed to facilitate a better understanding of the benefits of employee engagement in the workplace and beyond.  In recognition of the variety evident in the cultures, perspectives and circumstances of our employees, we utilize a myriad of approaches with an emphasis on Innovation, Collaboration and Education.  

Maintaining a culture that values increased awareness and respect for an inclusive workplace encourages our employees to support diverse communities, thereby promoting a more socially and economically vibrant Commonwealth.   

  

ERGs are committed to raising cultural awareness and creating a sense of belonging among all state government employees. ERGs collectively develop programming, conduct (virtual) events and activities, and support internal and external community initiatives. Visit the ERGs​ to learn more and join an ERG today.
