Options for Handling Employee Shortages. There are several options that the organization can deploy to address the shortage of laborers being experienced. Some of the options include offering competitive packages, using professional recruitment agencies, revamping the Human Resources plans of the organization, and use the interim staff available at their disposal, among others (Gatewood, Feild and Barrick). Lack of desired talent in the workforce can potentially hamper the profitability and growth of the organization. According to the sales and staffing information provided for this particular company, the best alternative for the shortage is using the interim staff. Contract staff can offer the required expertise on shorter notice. The reason for the above decision is that they are contracted for a shorter period, which is manageable financially for the company. The organization should consider hiring staff since the sales projection varies with seasons. However, the organization cannot keep the same number of employees during the different seasons. Another alternative is having a close working relationship with professional hiring agencies. Agencies can provide a pool of required expertise within a short notice, which can help the company to minimize the hiring costs.
