     On page 2, after line 12, insert the following new paragraph:

     "The legislature also finds that the efficiency and effectiveness with which government services are provided to the public depends on the motivation of the state employee workforce and the leadership provided to it.  In recent years, experience in the private sector has demonstrated that productivity in the modern world is enhanced by a workplace environment that has a clear and overall focus on serving the needs of customers, that empowers employees by involving them in the workplace decisions that historically have been considered the exclusive province of management, and that treat employees with fairness, respect, and dignity.  It is imperative that the department of human resources created under this act and each state agency exercising powers under this act establish and implement policies that strive to provide such a workplace environment." 

     On page 32, line 25, after "diversity;" insert "empower employees by enabling them to share in workplace decision making and to be innovative, willing to take risks, and able to accept and deal with change; promote a workplace where the overall focus is on the recipient of the government services and how these services can be improved;"
