Tell Governor Pawlenty to Support Workforce Planning

Have you ever heard the adage, "failing to plan is like planning to fail?"

With 30% of all state employees on the verge or retirement, Minnesota is about to experience a major workforce transition. MAPE supports measures to help the state prepare for this shift by saving money on employee turnover, retain knowledgeable state employees beyond the date they are eligible to retire, and encourage long term employees to extend their service, aiding the training of new employees.

This provision is in HF 1812, the Omnibus State Budget Bill. Despite issuing an Executive Order outlining the urgency of this issue, Governor Pawlenty has indicated that he may not support the workforce planning provision.

He seems unwilling to plan now, thus we all risk failing later. Contact Governor Pawlenty and ask him to support workforce planning and work with legislative leadership to begin the workforce planning process.
