Benefits, pensions, onboarding, retirement, and union/non-union environment are a few of the differences that will be addressed. During this session you will:

  • Hear the “key” differences and challenges in working in public-sector vs. private sector.
  • Identify successful practices that are successful in both public and private sector.
