Make a difference. 

The Employee Experience Program is an exciting and innovative take on strategic human resource management. We care about creating structures and systems that help our employees be healthy and well so they can do their best to protect and improve the health of all people in Washington State. We are driven by this mission and are humble, collaborative, equity-focused, and strive for customer-centric successes.  

We aim to be the innovative and effective antidote to corporate experiences that undermine the employee’s ability to belong, succeed, and thrive at work. Our team approaches our work with an underlying value for each other – we see one another as people who matter, seek to understand each other’s needs, and continuously partner with each other and customers to ensure our impact matches our intent.

Come work with us to help our agency thrive in the moments that matter to them!
