The partnership shall support the critical integration of workforce and government administration into effective teamwork that fosters efficiency in operations while maintaining a high quality work environment.

1700.3

The partnership shall promote a joint understanding of the unique issues, challenges and opportunities facing union and management employees and will seek ways to incorporate them into maintaining a supportive and positive work environment while achieving sustained excellence in public service.

(a) To improve our labor-management relationship;
(b) To provide a supportive, productive, challenging and high quality work environment in which all employees are treated with dignity and respect and are valued for their individual and team contributions;
(c) To generate gains in efficiency, effectiveness and accountability in service delivery through policies and programs that are economically feasible and justifiable; and
