Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While A, B, and C may be relevant to HR planning in some context, they are unlikely to be the most important factors when expanding production capacity at factories in different locations. D is also unlikely to be a primary consideration, as while job protection is important, it is usually not the only factor in HR planning. Ultimately, decision makers should prioritize a balance between financial and operational requirements and HR considerations, such as labor costs, availability of workers, and any relevant regulations or cultural factors that may affect HR planning.
