The Best Strategy for Managing a Workforce in Response to Changes

The best strategy for managing a workforce in response to changes in demand is to:

A) Maintain a lean workforce of core employees and have a body of contingent workers who could be more readily cut back as the need arises.
B) Maintain a workforce of solely contingent employees so that you can hire more if demand rises.
C) Maintain a strong workforce of core employees and hire contingent workers as needed.
D) Maintain short employment contracts and rehire each employee as needed year to year.
