Division of Personnel Management

​​​​​The Division of Personnel Management (DPM) provides leadership and support to other state agencies in human resources management. DPM oversees the state civil service system, manages employment relations, develops and maintains the state classification and compensation systems, and leads the state's affirmative action and equal opportunity employment programs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure state government is equipped with a talented and diverse workforce to provide the best possible service to the public.

Current Employees

​As our most valuable asset, DPM has begun an initiative to ensure our employees understand their pay, benefits, and the civil service system.  The DPM website has been redesigned to feature employee and manager based information in addition to our traditional HR community information.  Look for continued updates in the coming months.
