"For an organization to have advantages over its competitors, it often comes down to attracting the best talent in multiple departments. A company needs to be hyper-focused on hot employee topics such as attracting and keeping millennial employees, offering professional development opportunities and regular training, and having a stand-out diversity and inclusion program. Through my internship, I also found out first hand how important open lines of communication are in creating a healthy atmosphere for staff."

The interviewer is asking what you believe to be the makeup of an effective organization and really to hear your answer from a Human Resource professional's outlook. Your response will require insight, so draw upon what you have seen in your HR career regarding highly successful companies and those that have not. Discuss which core competencies divide the successful organizations from those that fall flat.

"From my experience in HR, and working for successful companies in the past, the core areas of focus should be to excel in areas of employee compensation, labor relations, continuous professional development opportunities, employee safety, and systems streamlining. There are other important sub-topics within those, but these are the core competencies for organizational effectiveness, in my opinion."
