Company Director

Those companies who are bringing outsourced departments back in house have already achieved their goals.

They have divested themselves of lots of highly trained and above all expensive staff at virtually no cost to themselves as they will have been handed off to the outsourcing company. Who after a few years will have given them the option of moving to outer mongolia or resigning thereby avoiding any redundancy issues whilst getting bodies out of the door and reducing the wage bill.

Net result, lower wages bill, less pressure on pension schemes and some external company for employees to blame all their woes on
