Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flexible jobs require flexible people to fill them, meaning employees who are able and willing to adapt to changing needs and responsibilities within the value chain. Highly experienced and knowledgeable employees (A) may not necessarily be flexible, and a diverse group of highly specialized employees (C) may not be necessary for all flexible jobs. Furthermore, while filling roles in today's competitive labour environment may be difficult, this is not specific to flexible jobs (D). Multi-tasking capabilities (E) may be helpful for some flexible jobs, but it is not the main determining factor for successful value chain management through effective hiring.
