Personnel Cabinet, Secretary Stephens, take home three awards

Indianapolis, In. (July 24, 2019) -  In a major home run, the Kentucky Personnel Cabinet took home three awards presented at the National Association of State Personnel Executives (NASPE) annual meeting in Indianapolis Tuesday. The cabinet won:

  • Advancing the Human Resources Profession Award for the 2018 Equal Employment Opportunity Diversity and Inclusion Conference
  • An award of merit in the Santos Communications Award category for the internal talent management branding and communications strategy, Connecting People to Purpose.

In addition, Secretary Thomas B. Stephens won the Eugene H. Rooney Leadership Award. This prestigious award highlights the innovative leadership practices either with an individual’s lead or with a cutting-edge program.

“The Personnel Cabinet works hard to be competitive, engaging and inspiring to current and prospective employees,” Secretary Stephens said. “We truly find our purpose connecting the great men and women of the Commonwealth to their own purpose and dreams. It’s an honor to see the cabinet’s creativity and dedication recognized.”

Winning programs and projects had to have been operational for six months and transferable to other states.
