Betsy, a human resource specialist at the Rantly Corp. headquarters in Miami, must plan to avoid a labor surplus in Minnesota in a fast and effective way. She wishes to do so with minimal employee suffering in terms of layoffs and salary. Which strategy would best help Betsy accomplish her goal?
(A) pay reductions
(B) transfers
(C) demotions
(D) early retirement
(E) hiring freeze

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) transfers

Explanation:

As the repaird center will be eliminated the jobs positions in Mineesota will decrease thus, creating a labor surplus.

Reduced wages and demotions aren't the way to solve this as this people would not have a job once the center is eliminated.

The Miinnesota center will close so hiring will stop there anyway.

Besty should decide wether to try to transfer some employees or offer early retirement.

Assuming the qualities requirement for mobile are similar to computer and the employees are willing to do so, Betsy can create a trasnfer program for his Minnesota employees.

This will save up the time and cost for recruiting in Miami also, this employees already now the culture organization and reduce the surplus in Minnesota which, is the goal asked for the headquarters
