Our public sector practice works with local government and not-for-profit organizations to enhance their human resources and compensation programs to improve recruitment and retention, manage compliance, and develop programs to improve management of their critical resources, people. The Practice is jointly led by Whit Perrin Wright and Joe Mota both LS&A strategic business partners.

Public sector organizations face unique challenges to require specialized tactics and response, including:

• Competing against a better funded private sector for critical jobs / skills
• Competing against other public entities to retain and recruit crucial police, fire, and other first-responders
• Developing programs to improve employee performance and pay potential
• Balance the requirements for internal pay fairness while competing in dynamic external pay markets
• Communicating with all stakeholders to provide compensation programs that engage employees while maintaining acceptable labor budgets

Whit and Joe bring over 50 years of combined experience and extensive expertise in working with public sector clients. Their experience base includes:

• They know local government—how it works and the obstacles HR faces in local government
• They have worked in many different roles both inside organizations and as consultants and problem solvers
• They bring state of the art compensation expertise grounded in both public and private sector engagements to provide the best council and advice to public organizations
• Experienced working with clients from inception of a compensation strategy, through garnering support from the stakeholders, to implementing the system.
