Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The 'Mercer Academy' was first set up in 2019, and I was part of the initial group. The initial group was very much a 'test group' and it did feel that way. There were certain parts of the job that weren't clearly communicated to us at the beginning, for example bonus eligibility and progression paths.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from colleagues, especially more senior colleages who see potential in me and want me to do well. All colleagues are very receptive to a phone call whenever necessary.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support if sought out, but I do need to seek advice when needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Studying for my PMI exams helps a lot as the matierals are very relevant to my day-to-day responsibilities.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Profressional networking events, social activities with colleagues, voluntary initiatives are offered but I do not usually take them up.
