The session will feature interactive break-out discussions on recruitment, learning and payroll (facilitated by outsourcing specialists Mark Condon, Peter George and Greg McManus).
Attend this workshop and find out how you can use outsourcing to save money, improve your service to your managers and most importantly, give you more time to focus on your strategic advisory role.
