Please explain your answer.
A significant number of Qualitex Corporation’s department heads are due to retire this year. The number of employees other than current department heads who could take on the position of department head is equal to only about half of the expected vacancies. Oualitex is not going to hire department heads from outside the company or have current department heads take over more than one department, so some departments will be without department heads next year unless Qualitex ______.
A. promotes some current department heads to higher-level managerial positions
B. raises the salary for department heads
C. reduces the number of new employees it hires next year
D. reduces the average number of employees per department
E. reduces the number of its departments
We essentially need to find how the Company will not have to extend one department head over multiple departments.
A: No. Dheads will still retire. No gurantee.
B: Same reasoning as in A. No gurantee.
C: reducing employees will not do anything. Still too many departments and not enough Dheads.
D: same reasoning as C. still more departments than Dheads.
E: best answer. Says Dheads will equal departments.
