The county's largest private employer is closing, and department heads see a hiring windfall. The CHRO also knows county buildings already rely on contractors and temps who may be displaced. What should the CHRO do before choosing a workforce strategy?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A plant closing looks like a hiring buffet until you notice the contractors already in the county's own hallways. External flood and internal displacement are the same weather system. Model both, then pick the strategy — do not just open the doors or lock them.
Full Explanation
Internal and external people factors are assessed together before a strategy is chosen. A major employer closure can flood the labor market and simultaneously displace contractors and temps already inside county operations. Modeling both sides prevents a hiring blitz that ignores internal disruption, a freeze that misses a real pipeline, or unassessed civil-service offers that are not a strategy. SPHR environmental scanning holds both factors in the same decision.
