1Question

Tell me about a time you had to influence senior stakeholders on an HR initiative

When our business services division was experiencing 31% turnover across 8 regional sites, I needed to convince the board to invest £180,000 in a comprehensive retention programme. I presented data showing the true cost of turnover was £2.1 million annually in recruitment, training, and lost productivity. I proposed a targeted approach including flexible working arrangements, career development pathways, and enhanced benefits. Despite initial resistance about costs, I demonstrated ROI projections and secured approval. Over 18 months, we reduced turnover to 19% and saved the company £1.4 million, validating the strategic investment.
2Question

Describe a situation where you managed change across multiple locations

Our company needed to implement a new performance management system across 15 locations spanning 4 counties. The challenge was ensuring consistent adoption while respecting local site cultures. I developed a phased rollout plan, starting with 3 pilot sites to identify issues and build success stories. I trained 24 local champions who could provide on-site support and gathered feedback weekly. When resistance emerged at 2 locations, I conducted additional workshops and adjusted the timeline. The result was 97% system adoption within 6 months and 22% improvement in performance review completion rates across all sites.
