Interviewer: What have you done during your career that you are most proud of?
Sharon: I am most proud of the “Employee Happiness and Well-Being” system that I implemented while I was the human resources manager at my previous company.
Interviewer: Can you tell me a little about that system?
Sharon: Sure. It was a system that was implemented to ensure that the employees were happy. We believed that happy employees were more productive and creative. The system used surveys and meetings between different levels of staff to encourage communication and to gather information about how the staff felt. Then we used this information to make positive changes within the company.
Interviewer: And was the system successful?
Sharon: Yes. The feedback we received from the employees was very positive and our staff turnover dropped by over 15%.
Interviewer: That’s impressive.
