Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Role is to lead a team of 50 employees across 2 hotels, ensuring full safety and compliance within each.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I really enjoy my programme, however it has been delivered remotely, which has been difficult. I believe face to face is far more engaging and I learn better

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt to adapt my leadership skills, and how to think differently about situations. I have also learnt about motivating factors and that each individual is different

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

Programme is well organised, dates all set out and given in advance.
It is well structured however i would have preferred face to face to return when Covid restrictions eased

How much support do you receive from your employer?

2/5

I don't feel like I have been fully supported, this is partially due to COVID, however also changing managers several times and expectations of my job role changing.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

I have a meeting once per month with my training provider, where we chat about any support required. I feel this could be better as most times our call doesn't last the time allocated. I would have liked to maybe go through some work, or receive feedback.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

I feel it really pushes me to do better, makes me think differently and implement and challenge better

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

There are currently no extra curricular activities to attend at the moment

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Whitbread plc to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I have only ever worked with Whitbread. As an employer I believe they value and look after all employees. They provide opportunities that some employers wouldn't have the facilities to do, for example this apprenticeship programme
