The Executive Team, which meets weekly, sets the example for leadership and continuous improvement in the department. DES is divided into six geographic areas of the state called districts. The management teams in the districts meet regularly as District Quality Councils. The ESP initiative actively involves DES employees in all aspects of their work through Quality Champions, Process Improvement Teams and Task Teams. The Arizona Department of Economic Security is a human service agency dedicated to working with the people we serve to achieve their self-sufficiency.
Employees are paramount.
