Presentation Topic for Interview

Hi All,

I'm hoping somebody can help steer me in the right direction. I have an interview this week for a People Adviser role. I've been asked to prepare a presentation on the below topic:

You are evaluating office turnover and notice that one office has very high turnover. You are also dealing with an ongoing grievance within the office. What do you do?

My gut reaction is that the 2 issues should remain separate, to maintain the integrity of the investigation in to turnover and to ensure the grievance is followed as per policy. There's not a lot of detail in the question so I think it's wanting me to keep an open mind and investigate both issues separately and going where the evidence points, rather than assuming the 2 are linked.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Steven - best of luck with the presentation. Please come back and let us know how it goes, we're all rooting for you! If I was faced with this scenario I'd tackle each issue separately (even though ultimately there may be some overlap.) They may want to understand how you would prioritise when faced with the two situations. I'm not an HR professional but just my own guess!
