Responding to Workforce Instability
A language school maintains a stable workforce of 50 tutors by hiring two new employees each week at a wage of €675. This wage is set because it reliably attracts exactly two qualified applicants per week. Suppose the school's weekly employee departure rate suddenly doubles. Analyze the immediate problem the school faces and propose a wage-based strategy to return to a stable workforce of 50. Justify your proposed strategy using the underlying principles of the hiring model.
