Question

When the corporate HR department learned that the quarterly turnover rate at one of its locations was more than four times the corporate average, it asked for an explanation. The local HR manager explained that since the service center was located in a college community and many of its employees were married to graduating students, they had to expect excessive turnover during the spring quarter. Corporate HR instructed the local HR manager to avoid hiring new employees who would likely leave soon. Which of the following is the best way for the local HR manager to respond to this corporate directive? The local HR manager should revise the hiring criteria and only hire new employees who appear to be permanent residents. The local HR manager should justify the practice of hiring students' spouses by showing that their incremental profit per employee exceeds their cost of hiring. The local HR manager should delete student spouses from the turnover statistics and not treat them as turnover since they are required to leave. The local HR manager should reduce turnover by providing financial incentives that reward long-term employment.
