It is the policy of the State of Oregon to encourage cooperative, participatory work environments and team-based management practices in all state agencies. To that end, when feasible and appropriate, state agencies shall: (1) Delegate responsibility for decision-making and service delivery to the lowest possible level; (2) Involve all workers, especially frontline workers, in the development and design of processes and program improvements; (3) Simplify and eliminate internal administrative rules and policies that unduly impede the attainment of the agencys mission and delivery of services; (4) Eliminate layers of organizational hierarchies; (5) Envision state government as a high performance organization in which training and technology are viewed as an investment in the workforce; and (6) Promote continuous improvement of state services through the involvement of all workers in process design and performance-based outcome development. Note: 240.850 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 240 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
