Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I support operations with all manner of HR processes, such as ER, performance management and talent.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I have enjoyed the areas that have been most relevant to my role, such as employment law.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have learned throughout my apprenticeship journey how to perform in my current role, which I began 4 months ago. Employment law has been the most beneficial so far.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It has been challenging, as our tutor changed numerous times throughout the programme. This has led to a lack of communication and confusion for the cohort during particular periods. My LDC has remained the same, and has supported the structure for myself personally.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer has been supportive throughout the process.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
My LDC has been excellent in remaining in communication and offering further external reading etc.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel that some of my learning will help me in particular ER scenarios. It has helped me to understand external companies and alternative approaches.
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
Bi-monthly team meetings with socials. Quarterly HR networking events.
