Using temporary employees would be the best strategy in this scenario as it will allow the company to meet the temporary increase in workload without the long-term costs associated with hiring and then laying off employees or bringing former employees out of retirement. By using temporary employees, the company can easily terminate their employment once the job is completed, without incurring additional costs.
