-: Yeah I mean the state is very focused
on affirmative action and inclusion
and I think in hiring that's really important.
At the end of the day,
we all do better when we all do better
and if we are including everybody,
different perspectives, different experiences,
I think that can really make us more well-rounded.
And so I think that's something
the state does a very good job of at
in terms of making sure that people
are all getting a fair consideration.
We have to read every resume,
every application line by line.
And that's not something I've done
at other employers specifically.
There's a lot of algorithms
that, you know, goes into a system
and it'll shoot out the best candidates based on that.
The state, you get that human eye, or human touch
that kinda gets to give more consideration to it, so.
Yeah I mean I do think
that they could look at the structure a little better.
I mean, I think there are things
that have to be very state specific.
In HR you really do get public and private sector rules
and regulations that do different,
or differentiate in many ways.
But I do think, like a basic structure,
I think that's something
that maybe the state could benefit from
is to look at how best it can service its divisions,
its agencies and structure according to that.
There's a lot of disparities.
Some are structured in a more robust way,
others are very, very lean
and so, you don't get that same level
of service to the agencies
that you would, you know,
if you were just to go to another company
that's already looking at it's own staffing model
and you know, operating within a more conventional format.
And isn't to say that a different format couldn't
be beneficial, but I think for an HR professional,
you might have to make a decision
if you want to be in state HR
or if you wanna be in a public or private sector HR.
