Chen Wen-fen, general manager for Adecco Taiwan, thinks that during an age of intense competition in every industrial sector, costs must be continually reduced to meet falling profits. As a result, "On the one hand a business must spend more to retain core personnel and, as much as possible, invest resources in these people; on the other hand, one hopes to reduce resources spent on non-core personnel."
藝珂企管顧問公司的總經理陳文芬則認為，在各行各業競爭激化的時代，成本必須不斷壓縮以應付利潤下降，結果，「企業一方面必須用更高的代價留下核心人員，盡可能將資源投注在這些人身上；一方面卻也希望能夠節省花在非核心人員的資源。」
