Worldwide Food Services, Inc. (WFS) has a large number of cooks and other food-service workers who will be sent to hostile environments overseas to prepare meals for the military. The workers have been hired, but they need to be trained almost immediately because of the contract with the military. The HR staff at WFS is overloaded. Which of the following would be the wisest course of action for WFS to take?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the time constraints and the overload on the HR staff, the best option for WFS would be to hire external trainers who can provide efficient and effective training to the workers. This will take the burden off the HR staff and ensure that the workers receive the necessary training in a timely manner. On-the-job training may not be sufficient for workers who are going to be working in hostile environments, and hiring and training new HR staff would be a time-consuming process. Cancelling the contract with the military is not an option, as it would result in significant financial loss for WFS.
