Interview Question: Return on Investment

Charlie

Hi All

I recently stumbled in a HRBP interview when they asked what is the most strategic project I have supported and what the return on investment was.

Having worked in public sector and mainly as a HR Advisor I don't have experience on working with return on investment and actual figures.

Can anyone provide me with some examples to help with my own development?

Thanks

  • Hi Charlie. Examples of ROI could be savings on temporary staff costs as a result of reducing sickness absence; investing time in managing absence delivers a return. Or investing in development of staff could reduce turnover delivering savings and increase in quality. I will often look at performance against KPIs to demonstrate that the initiatives or interventions invested in are delivering results. Hope that helps and good luck with the next interview.

    In a previous role when we did big redundancy exercises, we had to complete a Capital Expenditure Form (honestly!)
    The return was generally about 6 months. Not a true ROI type of figure but it makes more sense than a percentage.
