Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day to day role involved keeping up to date with KPIs whilst working on other projects alongside. KPIs reports include weekly and monthly, alongside this, other long-term projects usually took up time in my day to day tasks. Some of the projects include maintaining site communications, processing warehouse damages, participating in Peoples voice campaign and deploying ESH life risks project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
After picking up my initial responsibilities when began settling into my role, many of my colleagues trusted me to begin working leading other projects alongside my daily responsibilities. For example I was given the responsibility to lead 'go green' project to replace plastic bags used within DC with more environmentally friendly grass paper bags.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
One of the best aspects about my placement was the people I worked with, I was unfortunate that I had to work from home majority of the time due to Covid. However, the times I was in the office, I tried to make the most of it by collaborating and working with different colleagues. I am very grateful each and everyone of them.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year, I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. I received great exposure outside my work department with opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across divisions. Also, considering the circumstances, I had a great working from home/office balance, working in the office 2-3 days a week was great for me to get to know everyone and build professional relationships.
