Every human resource officer is usually determined to work in the interest of the organization and making sure that the existing workforce is sufficient, efficient and productive. Therefore, a human resource officer is able t analyze the performance of their staff and able to accordingly decide on the need for an increase or a decrease in the workforce. The decrease of the workforce is referred to as downsizing.
