Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The task given to Steven's boss is to develop a database of employees' education, special capabilities, and specialized skills. This is known as a human resource inventory, which is a comprehensive collection and analysis of data pertaining to the employees in an organization. A human resource plan is a more comprehensive strategy for managing employee recruitment, retention, and development.
