Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hiring temporary employees would be the right solution for Brandon as it allows him to quickly fill the labor shortage without committing to long-term hires. It can be easily eliminated when the optimal labor is available. Other options like hiring new employees or retraining transfers may take a longer period of time and may not be feasible for a short-term labor shortage. Technological innovation and reducing managerial staff may not address the labor shortage directly.
