Washington Works is the implementation of the Personnel System Reform Act of 2002 legislation that will seize an historic opportunity to create a model state government workforce and system, providing the best results at the right price for Washington State citizens. Washington Work's vision for high-performance government responds to public needs and changing times.

Washington Works is a collaborative effort endorsed by the Governor and sponsored by the Department of Personnel, the Office of Financial Management and the Department of General Administration on behalf of state agencies.

The Office of Financial Management has primary responsibility for collective bargaining. The Department of General Administration will write the rules and administer the competitive contracting process. The Department of Personnel has the lead in development and implementation of the new human resource system. This effort introduces the biggest change to the state workforce in a generation and impacts nearly every state agency and service delivered to Washington's citizens.
