WTW places a lot of focus on helping their consultancy clients build a culture that fosters employee retention. "Now is the time. Build a new model of work as a healthy company that will attract and retain the best talent and meet the needs and preferences of diverse employee populations." Therefore, this question aims to reveal whether you are satisfied with your career choice or if it is something you fell into as a result of having skills that meet an industry's needs. The purpose of determining this is to assess how sustainable of an employee you would be, with the aim of retention as opposed to attrition.

Your answer should convey your level of satisfaction with your career, your drive and ambition to further your career, and that you identify working with WTW as a long-term fit. Identify the specific opportunities for advancement within their company and integrate their language into your answers naturally when possible. This will inform them that you've identified them as an ideal match for what you are looking for and already embrace their culture and values.
HireVue advertises that they can customize each assessment interview to a specific role with clear performance indicators while identifying the skills and characteristics that are most important for success in that particular job, and those candidates most suited to the company's goals and culture. "Ask the right questions to elicit responses that can be measured and that are pertinent to predicting job performance. Train the model to notice everything relevant in the interview (what someone says and how they say it) evaluate both what you know about performing the job ('hard skills' or competencies) and communication skills, conscientiousness, problem-solving skills, team orientation, and initiative that help predict success. The best thing you can do is to carefully study the job description and be sure that you have examples and real experience behind you to "show what you know" about doing that job well."
