Please join us in congratulating faculty member Obed Pasha on his recent publication!
“North Carolina Benchmarking Project,” allows participating North Carolina municipalities to compare their service and performance trends. The report provides insights from these sessions on the challenges of retaining employees in the long term, the effects of retention risk on service operations, and the strategies that local governments have used to improve retention and to mitigate those effects. Congratulations, Obed!
