About the Personnel Cabinet

At the Kentucky Personnel Cabinet, we take pride in providing top-tier health and wellness benefits and human resources administrative support to state employees. You may have seen us at your local career fair promoting employment opportunities or attending wellness events sharing our robust health insurance plans. We love working ‘behind the scenes’ to ensure state employees have what they need to deliver the highest level of service to the public. We are a small but mighty team that continues to promote state government as an employer of choice by remaining innovative and prioritizing a diverse workforce.
