How would you handle an issue with a policy or procedure?
In the food and beverage industry, being adaptable is essential. Nestle Purina strives to keep up with their customers by improving their products, making changes in policies or procedures inevitable. This means policies can change quickly, and you will be expected to adapt. The interviewer wants to hear how you will respond when you disagree with the way something is handled or executed.
"I would first talk with my manager to make sure I understood the expectation correctly. I could have interpreted it wrong, or there could have been a miscommunication. If I still had an issue, I would take some time to think about how I could deal with it. I've learned to pick my battles and be adaptable as much as I can."
"I know well enough at this point in my career that policies and procedures are in place for a reason. If I truly don't understand the reasoning behind a policy, I ask for further clarification in a respectful and open-minded way."

I would be sure to fully understand the policy or procedure, and if I didn't, I would reach out to my manager or HR to ensure that I totally understood before I took any action. This way, I can go into any situation knowing the facts.
