1. What is the HR-related policy/event/incident you are most proud of, and why? What was your role? 2. Have you ever been in a position where - in order to be in compliance with the law - you needed to propose a company-wide policy change only to see your concerns then downplayed by upper management? If so, what did you do? If not, have you ever found yourself butting heads with upper management who either did not understand or did not value the current state of California labor laws as they pertain to your organization's established methods of doing business? 3. Let's say there's an employee who almost never gets to work on time. He's also pretty bad when he is at work. It comes to our attention though, that he has a medical condition (doctor's note and all) which causes issues with their sleep, which he's been trying to correct. Management wants to let him go. What would you do in this situation? Why? 4. If you had to implement a corporate change that would dramatically change the way employees work, how would you minimize the resistance to change? 5. An employee comes to you with a concern that they are feeling bullied by their boss. The bullying may be truly happening or the employee may just be overly sensitive. What course of action would you recommend, if any? Who would be involved and what role(s) would they play? 6. What is your philosophy for the role of HR? 7. Have you heard of Netflix's vacation policy? If not, look it up! What do you think of it? 8. Describe your experience with California labor laws. 9. You've noticed that many employees aren't participating in their 401k plan. What action, if any, would you take? 10. The Vice Presidents who are themselves responsible for determining annual salary increases are unable to formulate a fair and equitable compensation/raise policy for their own positions. Ideally, what role would you play (if any) in this scenario?
