If, In A Job Interview, You Are Asked How You Would Monitor Your Staff, What Should You Say?

Although an exact answer can not be given, I can give you pointers on what you should consider if you are asked this question. Firstly is this question being asked because high levels of security are required? If this is so, then your types of monitoring would be more strict such as confidentiality agreements, logs of calls made etc. in this scenario, a company will have many forms of monitoring already in place. Suggest some ideas you have but explain you would follow protocol.

If the business is focused on strong team work, then this may be asked to make sure you could handle the situation in a team way, without upsetting anyone. This type of scenario would require use of trust, adherence to procedure, and honesty. If you are asked this when applying for a job that has a high level of authority, then you must be able to demonstrate management qualities. These include being able to monitor staff and deal with difficulties that may arise.

The type of monitoring you can do is be job specific, and to reflect the company outlook. In any scenario, the best thing to do is to be able to provide examples where you have experienced this before. If the example or suggestion does not match what the company needs, it will be put into context for the interviewer and give a wider ranging description of your capabilities. The most important thing to remember is to ensure that whatever you suggest will not infringe upon anyone's rights as a person.
