Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I supported the talent development team by liaising with external training vendors, responding to employee queries and managing the online ticket queue. I also scheduled coaching and training sessions as well as assigning online learning licenses.
For the Core HR team, my administrative responsibilities included monitoring candidates' background screening process. I mostly worked on projects - for example as writing a benefit query FAQ page and creating a team performance dashboard.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I greatly developed my organisation skills as these were essential to stay on top of all my responsibilities. I learnt the new skill of professional communication - both through emails and in meetings. I became upskilled in various HR systems and technical platforms, such as Workday, DocuSign, Excel, Webex, Tableau and the company performance management tool. I was also given the opportunity to attend training to develop my presentation skills.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I felt very supported throughout the entire placement experience. I had weekly check-ins with my manager alongside monthly check-ins with the intern recruiter. My team members were also great at guiding me and answering all my questions. Ultimately, if I were to have any issues - there were sufficient people to seek help from.
There were also numerous trainings throughout the year designed to support the intern cohort.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I really liked the ambitious company culture. As an intern, it was motivating to be surrounded by such high-achieving individuals. The company hosted numerous social events, such as monthly drinks and a great series of speaker events. The only downside to mention is the company's male:female ratio.
