Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt the importance of focusing on my team's professional development in the workplace and also maintaining emotional awareness at all times. In addition I have found the content to be useful with regards to managing my own development and how to develop further.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I would say overall the programme is structured in a way that is easy to understand and individual objectives are made clear. Thanks to the online platform you are also able to see a clear timeline of what you have achieved and the next steps.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
The training team and my manager in particular have been fantastic with providing me with the relevant time and resources I need to complete my assignments/training. However, being based in an operational environment, obtaining support from the senior management can be very challenging in busy periods.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My coach for this programme has been exceptional with having follow-up conversations and keeping a close track on my current progress. I have found that having professional discussions and progress reviews are very helpful too.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
This course has allowed me to better understand the ways in which we can better manage our teams and also gain a better perspective on a variety of situations such as problem solving and collaborating.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are networking events that take place with our community groups within Wayfair.
