Decision Point: Hiring Employees

Based on your decision regarding contracts, the Volonian HR manager decides to initiate the hiring process. However, after a couple of days, she tells you she has a problem hiring employees:

"I don't think we can use the same hiring strategies we use in our home country. The labor laws are quite strict and favor workers much more than companies. For example, terminating an employee is difficult and time$-$consuming. Additionally, most of the eligible applicants we receive do not speak fluent English. This may pose a serious problem in terms of communication in the workplace."

What is your advice to the HR manager?

Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.

Design a training program that teaches trainees English.

Apply the same labor laws that Gerlach Publishing applies in its home country because Gerlach Publishinfinneeds consistent human resources policies.

Start hiring employees through a contract that defines a specific work period and renew the contracts of those who perform well.
