"The success of our workforce is a direct reflection of my success as an HR professional. For that reason, I prefer that our employees receive accolades for a job well done. For instance, if our group exceeds company targets, I would rather see a collective reward. This method of recognition is my preference."

The interviewer would like to know what motivates you to achieve in the workplace. We all want recognition in some way for our accomplishments. Perhaps you enjoy financial perks, public attention, kind words, added responsibilities, or title promotions. Share with the interviewer how you would like recognition for your hard work in their HR department.

"I appreciate you asking this question since, as a human resources professional, this is a question that I ask every new hire as well. I want to know how to keep everyone motivated on the job. I am an eager achiever and find that the best way to be recognized for a job well done is to hear words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work matters."
