French term or phrase: ajuster les effectifs au CA
Nous pensons donc que la première phase de réajustement à la hausse du taux d’utilisation des effectifs est plausible, avec d’une part une politique commerciale plus agressive et ensuite la possibilité d’ajuster les effectifs au CA.

re-adjusting the [number of] Employees to Sales


Explanation:
CA is Sales in the US. In the UK, they also say Turnover but here I would say sales to make it clear that they can hire more people if they make more sales.

neutral  Steven Geller: Sales revenues not sales - a company can have high sales numbers and terrible revenues - "chiffre d'affaires" does not mean sales - it means turnover or revenues from sales.
