Cost-Cutting Options Selected
Track spending and the implementation of telecommuting are the cost-cutting options selected. These strategies are significant or a variety of reason. First, track spending encompasses the tracking all the expenses. The monitoring of the expenditure is elemental because it allowed for the determination of various sections of the expenses that could be stopped or reduced. On the other hand, ensuring that the employees telecommute rather than working on the premises was elemental because it allowed for the reduction of the rent or lease payments (Dias, Marques, & Martins, 2012).
