Parks attendance has surged with a two-year tourism boom. Which workforce-plan choice best matches that demand pattern?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A boom is a wave, not a new coastline. Pour permanent FTE into a two-year tourist spike and winter payroll sits on an empty beach. Seasonal and limited-term seats flex with the tide.
Full Explanation
Cyclical demand should be staffed with contingent structures—seasonal, limited-term, and overtime within safe limits—unless a durable base-load increase is funded. Permanent general-fund FTE created for a tourism peak becomes a structural deficit in the off-season. Workforce plans distinguish cycle from base and size the flexible layer accordingly. Freezing all hiring or converting seasonals to permanent both misread the cycle.
