Interview Question of the Week
Q: Of the CEO's you have worked with, who was the worst and why?
Commentary: We're looking for a sense of what types of actions or behaviors define "worst" in this case. The goal is to see if you can see similarities between their definitions and the characteristics of the leaders in your organization. You also want to know how they handled the identified issues. For example did their concerns about the CEO cited drive them to leave their job? As always we should expect that the candidate's past behavior is a harbinger of future behavior --- so don't ignore the answers you receive and assume their past dislikes and tolerances have significantly changed.

HR Best Practices Tip
Consistency
Why do thousands of employers find themselves the subject of an EEOC investigation, DOL inquiry or legal action? In many cases it boils down to one thing - Inconsistency in policy management. Specifically, managers deal with the same employee related situation differently depending on who the employee is....OR managers in different parts of the same company address issues differently. Either circumstance results in the perception, or reality, that the company has two sets of rules for its employees. Since perception, not fact, is what matters, when an this circumstance occurs the employee may have the basis for a formal complaint. Identifying one central resource (e.g. HR) to be the arbiter and direction provider will inject consistency. Also, be sure to train your managers on how to implement the policies and practices your firm has established. |

Reader Question
 Q: Must a company utilize an Employment Application in the process of hiring someone?
A: While no law exists per se' that mandates the use of the Employment Application, we strongly advise our clients that they use one. A good application is one that has been published / updated in the last three years to account for changes in the laws and contains a comprehensive release. Employment Applications when fully completed (SEE RESUME is NOT acceptable) and signed offer the company with a powerful tool in the event a new hire turns out to have been dishonest about their work or educational history, providing the company with the enhanced ability to terminate for fraud under many circumstances. |
