OA: OA CARES
OA offers support, services, and solutions to agencies throughout state government as well as the citizens of Missouri. Customer experience must be a top priority for all OA team members.
When we do our jobs right, other departments can better fulfill their missions and we ultimately serve the citizens of Missouri better. At OA, public service and customer experience are at the heart of everything we do.
That means living out the core values of OA CARES: Communication, Adaptive, Reliable, Expert, and Solution-Driven . These values and principles drive OA’s customer service for the future. OA CARES is key to the success of OA and state government.
OA CARES helps keep both customer service and public service at the forefront for OA team members. This initiative is all about finding ways to improve the customer experience and then, putting it into daily practice. We want our customers to have a seamless experience when they come to us for assistance.
