§ 24-50-801 — Legislative declaration

The general assembly hereby finds and
declares that it is the policy of this state to concentrate on improving the efficiency
and effectiveness of state government in order to provide better service to the
citizens of the state of Colorado, to increase state government productivity, and to
decrease state government costs. The general assembly recognizes that one
method of achieving a more efficient and effective state government is to
encourage the involvement of state employees in the development of innovative
ideas that will increase the productivity and service level of state government while
decreasing the costs of state government. The general assembly realizes that
employee incentive programs that reward state employees for innovations by
allowing the employees to share the cost savings resulting from such innovations
will help encourage employee involvement in making state government more
efficient and effective. The general assembly further recognizes that rewarding
state employees may also increase employee morale and enthusiasm, decrease
employee turnover, and improve customer service.
