What term describes the obtaining and maintaining of a satisfactory workforce?

• A. Human resources management
• B. Workforce development
• C. Personal management
• D. Talent acquisition

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is the management of people within an organization—getting the right people and keeping them productive and satisfied. This aligns with personal management, the traditional term for handling recruitment, selection, compensation, training, and employee welfare to ensure a satisfactory workforce is in place. While human resources management is the broader modern term, and workforce development centers on improving skills, and talent acquisition focuses on bringing in new hires, personal management directly addresses both obtaining and maintaining employees in the workforce.
