Workforce management in the education sector, particularly in teaching roles, has become a pressing challenge in rapidly growing regions like Bangalore and Kerala. This study aims to explore strategic action plans for managing workforce shortages and surpluses within teaching jobs in these two distinct regions. While Bangalore faces a rising demand for skilled educators due to the influx of schools and educational institutions catering to a growing urban population, Kerala struggles with an oversupply of qualified teachers, leading to unemployment and underemployment. This research examines the adaptive HR practices employed to address these workforce imbalances, focusing on recruitment strategies, workforce planning, and retention mechanisms. The study also explores the impact of these practices on organizational sustainability in educational institutions. By conducting qualitative and quantitative analysis across a range of schools and colleges, the research provides insights into the regional factors contributing to workforce fluctuations and offers strategic recommendations to ensure the right balance of teaching staff. In doing so, it highlights the need for a dynamic approach to workforce management in education, tailored to the evolving needs of both urban and rural settings.
