The New DOR
In January of 2017, Adam Krupp became Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR)'s new Commissioner. One of the main focuses that the Commissioner and DOR leadership has taken very seriously is taking DOR to the next level.
Several new programs and initiatives have been introduced focusing on improving design, operation, management, and level of service delivery for all DOR functions. A special focus has been improving the overall health of DOR by improving leadership practices, partner relationships, internal and external communications, recognizing team member performance, and improving employee engagement. These initiatives are all part of one big picture to improve DOR's culture. Improved customer service, becoming passionate about continuous improvement and making DOR a great place to work are the goals of the new DOR.
A key component to the new DOR is a new mission and vision. The shift from "collect" to "serve" and "taxypayers" to "customers" is a direct reflection of the fundamental shift within DOR.

Commissioner's Corner
It feels like yesterday that I was walking through the doors
of Indiana’s Department of Revenue for my first day as Commissioner. In
reality, I am rapidly approaching my one-year anniversary in a role that is
equal parts challenging and exciting. As I continue to learn the ropes
and better-familiarize myself with Indiana’s tax code, I frequently pause and
reflect on the enormous opportunity – not to mention responsibility – that was
presented to me by Governor Holcomb after he was elected as Indiana’s 51st
governor. It continues to be a humbling experience – one that I do not
take for granted. As a Hoosier, making the complete transition from a
career in the private sector to a dedicated, passionate public servant for the
great state of Indiana has been refreshing, energizing, and created a new sense
of purpose.
But enough about me. I want Hoosiers to know there is
a whole team of individuals working hard to make Indiana’s Department of
Revenue the nation’s premiere tax administrator. Since January 2017, DOR
has featured a new Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General
Counsel, Policy Director, Inspector General, Communications Director, and many
others who have walked away from successful careers in the private sector or
other government agencies to be a part of something special – the
transformation and modernization of the Department of Revenue.
The team of individuals at DOR believe in building and maintaining a healthy
organization, share a passion for customer service and process improvement, and
are driven to see this agency succeed. This is not only rare but makes DOR a great place to work. Our staff of over 600 hard-working, passionate Hoosiers are
taking all of the changes implemented and anticipated in stride. They are continuing to
serve Indiana by performing extremely complex transactions on a daily
basis. But in doing so, we are making sure everyone knows they can enjoy
themselves and create a fun environment at work. We have a saying around
the office – “If you aren’t having fun, you’re doing it
wrong.” That type of environment translates into heightened levels of
customer service, which is our number one priority these days. |
