Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I manage the on-boarding process for all new starters. Creating a file, issuing contracts, collecting right to work documents and providing our payroll with a new starters details.
I also look after the company vehicles for the commercials business. This involves ensuring changes are updated, placing any new vehicle orders and arranging collections. I do still have a lot to learn regarding the company vehicles.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy seeing and learning about the HR role. Before starting this apprenticeship i never realized how many different aspects of the business related to HR matters. From on boarding to leavers, monitoring surveys and feedback, policies and procedures and employee engagement.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I learn new parts of my job on a daily basis. I have recently been tasked with processing any leavers we may have within the business, providing leavers with an exit interview asking for honest feedback from their experience working for Motus Commercials. This feedback enables us to monitor the way others recognize our business, giving us the opportunity to make any necessary changes based on this feedback.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I'm finding my programme very well organised, at the beginning i didn't really know what to expect. My apprenticeship began on the same day i was furloughed due to the pandemic, my assessor put my mind at rest and we have continued to work through my programme despite the current situation. My colleagues offer me no end of support and answer any questions I may have no matter how big or small.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support from my colleagues is second to none. Our team at head office are always there for me should i need any help or guidance and ensure i understand any tasks set.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My tutor has an amazing attitude towards her students. Alongside working and my apprenticeship I am also working towards a functional skills math exam. Although math has always terrified me and continues to do so, my tutor has offered nothing but encouragement, she has set up math lessons for me each week to try and ease the pressure and gain a little confidence.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I work with the HR team so everyday I learn something new about the HR management role. My apprenticeship helps me to learn and understand the role more in depth and the reason these laws, policies and procedures are in place.
I feel since beginning my apprenticeship my knowledge regarding HR practices has increased, though I understand there are many aspects that fall under the HR team so I know I still have alot to learn.

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
Due to the current pandemic, social events for the past year have been postponed. During this time our HR manager has sourced a yoga instructor who teaches yoga techniques to all employees once a week to help with relaxation and mindfulness, she has more recently set up a charity walking event to get everyone moving and out in the fresh air.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend MOTUS Commercials to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Motus Commercials is a great place to work, no matter the department. I began my employment originally working in service, then moving onto Parts sales rep, Parts driver and Parts administrator before a few years ago joining the head office team. The management and employees are all great people, any support/help or advice is available at every region. Training opportunities are endless and employee engagement is at the heart of the business.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to MOTUS Commercials?
Do it, you wont be disappointed. Our on-boarding process is straightforward and all done electronically which provides a much easier process. Training opportunities are available to everyone within the business no matter their role to gain further experience and widen opportunities. Motus Commercials put their employees first, employees are there most important asset.
