What is another word for overmanning?
Pronunciation: [ˌə͡ʊvəmˈanɪŋ] (IPA) 
Overmanning, a term used to describe situations where a company employs more workers than is necessary to perform a particular job, can be replaced by several synonyms. These include overstaffing, overemployment, or redundancy. Overstaffing implies that a company has more employees than it requires but who may be of use during peak seasons. Overemployment suggests that a company has more workers than it can afford to keep at any given time. Redundancy, on the other hand, is a situation where a company dismisses employees either to cut costs or because of the job has become obsolete. Regardless of the term used, overmanning is generally viewed as a negative trait that can hinder a company's productivity and efficiency.
