Purpose
The Office Of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison - one of Minnesota’s largest public law offices - has a clear mission: we help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect. We are a dynamic group of dedicated professionals - attorneys, investigators, analysts, and staff of all kinds - who could all work elsewhere but choose public service as a calling, and we are actively building an internal culture that supports that calling. As we’ve shared, we believe that all Minnesotans deserve to afford their lives and life with dignity, safety, and respect - and that includes for our employees! We are intentional about creating a work environment that is inclusive, affirming, and thoughtful about employee morale - all of which is instrumental in allowing us to best serve our fellow Minnesotans.
Vision
The culture of the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General is one of collaboration, engagement, and transparent decision-making. We hold meetings on how to proceed and collaborate respectfully together. We believe that good ideas about practices and policies, ways to learn and grow with one another, and how to do our best work come from everywhere, so we encourage conversations about the direction of our office between leadership, management, and staff on a regular basis. Employees are also invited to step into leadership roles through joining one of our employee committees, which are Fun & Wellness; Hiring, Recruitment, and Diversity; Personnel; ProBono & Volunteering; Safety; Technology & Modernization; and Training. It’s important for our employees to know how decisions are made and the thought process behind them and strive for robust internal communications in this regard.
