Public health must surge for a measles outbreak and then shrink. What workforce-plan design should HR use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Outbreaks are not the time to invent job descriptions. Keep a classified surge roster and trained reservists on the shelf so the measles spike is a pull, not a panic hire—and the shrink afterward is already designed.
Full Explanation
Surge-and-shrink events require a planned flexible layer: pre-classified emergency titles, trained reservists, and a documented demobilization path. Improvised emergency hires and unmodeled overtime create both coverage gaps at onset and messy reductions at the end. SPHR workforce plans treat public-health surge as a designed cycle, not an exception to planning.
