Marie Boyd has been hired by Barnum Hotels to manage staffing for the regional hotel chain. Barnum intends to open two new hotels within the next three years and will have many job positions to fill. Historically, employee turnover is high at Barnum as employees remain with the company for one or two years before quitting. Marie realizes that Barnum needs to make significant changes in its personnel strategy in order to meet the company's goals for the future and improve employee retention rates.

Which of the following, if true, most likely undermines Marie's decision to fill top positions with inside candidates?
A) Many current Barnum employees have indicated they are loyal to the firm by rejecting offers to work at competing hotels.
B) Barnum needs to head in a different direction with innovative ideas if it is to remain competitive with other hotel chains.
C) Training new employees about the practices and procedures at Barnum is costly in regards to both time and money.
D) The influence of local labor unions and EEO legislation is blamed for the high turnover rate among Barnum employees.
