Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is within Reward and Recognition which means my team and I work to make people around the business feel valued. I have certain tasks that I do monthly such as analysing the business wide monthly eNPS survey, I create an article that goes in the global newsletter in which I recognise colleagues for their efforts, and I create a tax report based on the expenses made by UK based colleagues. Additionally I help to plan events that travel around UK sites in which colleagues can drive the cars they help to make, and I also a significant amount of analysis.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say I have been given a relatively large amount of responsibility. Since my job involves a lot of interaction with other colleagues without supervision, as well as placing large expensive orders for the events I plan, I have had to be mature and take it seriously. I have dealt with contractors, and written lots of articles that have gone out to the whole business. All of these involve a certain extent of responsibility I think.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have hugely built upon both my written and verbal communication. I have built up my confidence and pushed myself to deliver presentations, as well as interacting in large group settings, and getting to know other undergrads and make great friends. I have developed writing concisely and fitting a brief. My technology skills (particularly excel) have hugely grown, as have my time planning.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a lot. I have had several points of contact from the start in case I need support. For example I was allocated a buddy at the very start of the year, my manager is an extremely kind and supportive individual who I would feel comfortable to ask for help, and I work very closely with a colleague who has always been patient for me and taught me a huge amount. Additionally, support from the early careers team has always been provided.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very supportive and encouraging of my growth. I genuinely couldn't have enjoyed the atmosphere more than I have. I loved having team meals/ coffees/ meetings and making the meaningful connections I have throughout the year.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I truly couldn't have enjoyed it more than I have. I have mostly enjoyed the work I have been doing and feel that I have made an impact. I have loved being in the team I am, I have made so many brilliant friends, and most importantly I have hugely grown as both a person and a professional. I have built upon lots of my skills that without industry experience I wouldn't have been able to and I love the fact my confidence has been boosted.
