Question

Decruitment is the planned elimination of ________ in an organization. A) jobs

Answer 1

Answer:

C) cross-functional teams

Explanation:

Human resources management (HRM) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.

Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of recruiting, downsizing, decruiting, managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.

A cross-functional team can be defined as a group that comprises of employees from different functional areas within an organization.

Decruitment is the planned elimination of cross-functional teams in an organization.

This ultimately implies that, decruitment is a method adopted by human resource managers to reduce the number of various employees (workforce) working in an organization.

Similarly, downsizing refers to the planned elimination of jobs (job positions) existing in an organization.
