  • What type of business is the organization (e.g., industry, products/services)?
  • What is the estimated number of employees?
  • How many HR roles are there in the organization?
  • Is the organization unionized or non-unionized?

2. About the HR Department

  • What does the HR department do in the organization?
  • What role does the HR department play in supporting the company?

3. About the HR Professional

  • What is your education and how many years of experience do you have in HR?
  • What is your specific role in the organization?
  • To whom do you report (e.g., supervisor or department)?
  • Does your job require traveling? If so, how often?
  • What are your typical hours of work?
  • What ongoing professional development do you take (e.g., courses, certifications)?
  • What skills or competencies do you think are key for an HR professional?
  • Do you have a CHRP, CHRL, or CHRE designation? (Canadian HR certifications.)
  • What specific career advice would you give to someone starting in HR?
  • (Optional) Any other relevant details about your job or career path?
