5/5
Managing benefits offered to colleagues, supplier relationships, strategic reward & recognition, project management
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It was great getting together with others from around the business and hearing how they work, what they get involved in. Also meeting others who are on different zones on the Insights wheel and learning how to best interract with them. I thought I was too old for an apprenticeship but had such a good experience, others in our department are now applying.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes - empathy, budgetting, learning styles, goal setting, communication styles, having difficult conversations.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Extremely well. Our workshop facilitator was brilliant and very helpful. Not only during the workshops but as a second mentor to me if my mentor was on holiday or unavailable.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
100% full support, all the time I needed to complete tasks and I attended every workshop so no catching up to do.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again I had full support. Online support sessions and in-person clinics (pre-covid). When pulling together portfolio I was given gentle pointers on how I might improve my work.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I have been given more responsibility and asked to take on work I wouldn't have been able to before. I know more about team management, handling difficult conversations, goal setting etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, CMI, Reward Gateway client events, REBA, Employee Benefits awards/networking
