Selected Answer: A

A. reviewing current goals-based performance appraisals across the enterprise. Performance appraisals based on goals provide a comprehensive evaluation of employees' contributions and capabilities. By reviewing performance appraisals, management can identify and retain the most capable staff who have consistently demonstrated high performance and alignment with organizational goals. This approach focuses on merit and individual achievements rather than relying on factors such as length of service or compensation, which may not accurately reflect an employee's current capabilities and contributions to the organization.

Looks like B to me; years of service doesn't mean that they are capable. For all you know they just read the newspaper

B could be the answer. But here is my challenge. The question only says that they are ceasing international operations. However, services are not stopped. IT is a service, not a business. Therefore, A seems to be the better option isn't it?
