What the senior administrators, however, failed to take into consideration at this time was a more critical factor so far as public-private employment was concerned. This was the nature of the compensation package offered. When, and if today, a comparison is made between the compensation package in the private sector as opposed to the public sector, it is evident that there is little or no parity particularly at the middle and lower level employees in the public as opposed to the private sector. In addressing reform measures, then, what was overlooked and continues to be overlooked are two key areas-mechanisms to measure efficiency and introducing some measure of equality so far as compensation was concerned. With all the rumblings in Trinidad and Tobago, it is evident the time has come for reform of the public sector to be placed once more on the agenda of Government and this time they must come up with creative ways for rethinking the reform question.
