Fran, a manager at a large home decor store, is expecting increased sales during the upcoming holiday season. He knows that his current workforce will not be able to meet demand, putting him at risk of a labor shortage. Which strategy would be the best option to help Fran avoid a labor shortage?

Fran should keep his store closed during nonpeak hours to compensate for labor shortages. This will ensure his current employees work harder during peak hours.

Fran should hire temporary employees because he can let them go once the holiday season is over.

Fran should hire new employees because he will most likely need additional workers after the holiday season to deal with an increasing sales trend.

Fran should increase his current employees' pay during the holiday season so they will work harder to achieve sales targets.

Fran should consider increasing the prices of toys so he can make higher profits with fewer sales, thereby reducing the number of customers and consequently solving the labor shortage issue.
