Dear Gurmeet,
A treatment would depend on the culture of a company. However, it's the human values that remain effortlessly the same. A senior employee is a talent who has worked through various roles and levels. Their business knowledge and professional maturity are assets to the firm.
When dealing with them, these are the top two areas to keep in mind. Bureaucracy and power plays are close to human nature, yet they are prone to situations. Not every firm is affected by them to the same degree.
Consider how the interviewers view their mentors in the firm and frame your answers in that light.
Please consider sharing a little more about the discussions you have had so far, if possible.
Thank you.

Hello Gurmeet,
I am in line with (Cite Contribution)'s views.
To add further, based on your query, it appears that you are a senior HR professional yourself; otherwise, such a query wouldn't be directed towards you (lower-level HR professionals focus on different aspects).
That being said, I hope you conducted some research about the company online before attending the interview. Understanding the general nature and domain of the company is crucial. Each domain/industry has its own unique situations and cultures to navigate, as mentioned by (Cite Contribution).
A common trait among long-term senior employees (as opposed to those with extensive but recent experience) is the gradual development of a sense of indispensability over time within the company. While there are exceptions, many are unaware of this mindset shift, which can pose challenges for those managing such individuals. Addressing this issue with a senior professional without causing offense can be quite challenging.
It is important to devise tailored approaches to manage such individuals, considering that a one-size-fits-all solution may not be effective.
Please provide more details about the situation so that members on CiteHR can offer more targeted suggestions.

Hi Gurmeet,
I have two points to suggest on "Managing Senior Staff as HR":
1. Develop relationships with seniors with appropriate chemistry matching efforts.
2. Make sincere attempts to understand the business domain of the company and individuals' pain areas.
Implementing these suggestions should help you better manage your resources.
