AS PAY SCHEDULE SPOTLIGHT
EMPLOYEES SHARED WHY PUBLIC SERVICE WAS MEANINGFUL TO THEM DURING STATE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION WEEK 2026
Kim Adams, State Procurement Manager, Division of Administration, Office of State Procurement
“Being a state employee is meaningful to me because I want the work I do to have a real impact on people’s everyday lives. I take pride in contributing to something that supports my community and helps things run more smoothly and fairly. Even in small ways, I know the work matters to the people who rely on these services. That sense of purpose motivates me to show up, do my job well, and be part of something that makes a difference.”
Phillip Donagriche, Training & Development Program Manager, Department of Insurance “Being a state employee at the Louisiana Department of Insurance is meaningful to me because my work supports those who protect Louisiana’s consumers. I help equip employees with the knowledge and capability they need to serve the public. When employees are prepared, the impact extends beyond our agency. While my role is behind the scenes, that impact reaches
every citizen who depends on us.”
Latedra S. Drummond, HR Analyst, Department of Public Safety
“Working as a Human Resources Analyst with the Department of Public Safety has given me a deeper sense of purpose than I ever expected. I love my job because it allows me to support the people who dedicate their lives to protecting our state. When I show up to work each day, I know I’m contributing to something bigger than myself. For me, HR isn’t just paperwork, policies, or processes. It’s people.”
