European companies have different views on whether to outsource more or fewer HR projects in light of the coronavirus crisis.

Labour market calls for more talent mobility
How do companies guarantee that all looming skill gaps are dealt with in a timely way? The traditional approach – hiring permanent, payrolled employees – is still favoured in most European countries, according to an international survey conducted by European HR and payroll services provider SD Worx.
