Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scarcity of qualified nursing labour and the legal environment are both external factors that are influencing BCH's recruitment strategy. The aging population has led to a shortage of professionals globally, and this is impacting BCH's ability to recruit and retain staff. Additionally, the legal environment may impact the organization's ability to offer incentives and benefits to attract and retain staff. Therefore, D is the best choice. A, B, and C are not external factors, and they are not specifically mentioned as influencing BCH's recruitment strategy.
