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

    The way I tend to ask this question to HR bods is not about ROI but after they have waxed lyrically about a pet project I ask the simple question "So what?". That's what the ROI is probably getting towards - the so what question. How did your pet project or proudest achievement make the organisation better and how? Can you quantify it in any way (and many HR people really dont get data well - its the biggest gap in our profession IMO).

    Everyone now completes our super appraisal form - so what? etc etc
