A large, multi-year project requires highly skilled staff for a successful deployment. Management and the sponsor have agreed to hire permanent staff to avoid budget overruns, but staff turnover during the project could still affect delivery. Which two actions should the project manager take to mitigate this risk? (Choose two.)

Improving team competencies through training, mentoring, and coaching directly addresses the risk of staff turnover impacting delivery by enhancing the skills and adaptability of the existing team, making them more resilient to individual departures. Implementing a recognition program mitigates turnover risk by boosting morale, increasing job satisfaction, and fostering loyalty among staff, thereby reducing the likelihood of them leaving the project. Meeting with management to split the project might reduce complexity but doesn't directly address the staff turnover risk. Persuading management to engage third-party staff contradicts the agreed-upon strategy of hiring permanent staff to avoid budget overruns. Increasing the number of trained staff provides backups but doesn't prevent turnover itself and could increase costs.
