Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Strategic staffing is the process of staffing an organization in future-oriented and goal-directed ways that support the organization's business strategy and enhance organizational effectiveness. The focus of strategic staffing is the integration of staffing practices with business strategy and with the other areas of human resource management to enhance organizational performance. Traditional staffing tends to focus on quickly and conveniently filling an opening rather than on aligning the staffing effort with the long-term strategic needs of the organization. By contrast, strategic staffing entails both short- and long-term planning. The process involves acquiring, deploying, and retaining the right number of employees with the appropriate talents to effectively execute this strategy. When done strategically, staffing can enable a company to acquire a sustainable competitive advantage that allows it to successfully fulfill its mission and reach its goals.
