Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hiring temporary employees allows for an easy and temporary solution to a labor shortage. Once the optimal labor is available, the temporary employees can be easily let go without any major impact on the organization or its current workforce. The other options, such as hiring new employees or retraining transfers, may not be as easily reversible and could lead to a less flexible workforce in the future. Technological innovation and reducing managerial staff aren't necessarily solutions to a labor shortage and may not be relevant to the situation at hand.
