Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role is to lead the team responsible for Talent Management, graduate programmes and apprenticeships as Lidl GB. This means building leadership programmes to develop colleagues through the business, create and evolve our Sales/Logistics graduate offering and to work with providers to offer apprenticeships at all levels of the business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy learning about coaching and the many different aspects to it, particularly within a business or from outside a business. I enjoy the triads, working with peers to practice what we have learned. My coach is also friendly, knowledgable and supportive. I do struggle with the amount of content, balanced with my day to day role which has meant getting behind on occasion.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Developed my coaching, listening, leadership skills as well as technical knowledge within the coaching arena
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well structured, into clear modules
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer understands the commitment of the programme and gives me space and time to manage my workload. During certain times of year my role means I am unable to be fully available, however I am able to catch up afterwards. My line manager leaves me to complete the course and implement what I have covered.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Lifetime have been organised and my coach is understanding and helpful. Lifetime sometimes send invites quite late notice and the seminars can be quite long which takes up long periods of my working day. However overall the tools provided are excellent and I am free to move any datea that I cannot make.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Very well - it has made me more confident and credible
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Football
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lidl to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Intense, fast-paced and exciting to be part of something so large. It is a worldwide brand, with an exceptional Head Office in GB. People are dynamic, friendly and target driven. It pays well and offers a good pool of benefits, whilst allowing relative autonomy and flexibility in your role. It continues to expand so there are many opportunities for sideways growth.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lidl?
Don't be afraid to show off and sell yourself, its very competitive
