Outsource or Keep in House? Two Ways to Run Salary Packaging

  Every organisation that offers salary packaging faces the same early decision: do you hand the whole thing to a specialist provider, or keep it in house and run it yourself? Both can work well.

The same salary can go noticeably further, which matters enormously when you are competing for good people against larger or better funded employers. For you as the employer, that is ...
