If the service level is high, it means that the staff is able to handle customer demands efficiently and effectively. If the occupancy is low, it means that there are fewer customers or clients to serve. Therefore, if both conditions are met - high service level and low occupancy - it suggests that there are more staff members available than necessary to meet the current demand. This indicates an excess of staff.Rate this question:
