Hire temporary employees to work on specific projects.

Explanation:

Human resource management is the process by which a business effectively manages its manpower needs to meet its organisational goals at a reduced cost to the business.

It involves the various strategies used to hire employees to meet business needs in a cost-effective way.

The construction division has a highly seasonal workload, with fewer projects in the winter than in the summer. Also, different expertise is needed for different kinds of buildings. So hiring a permanent workforce is counterproductive as they will be paid when there is no work to be done. The best strategy is to hire temporary workers. Also there is need for specialised staff to work on specific projects.
