Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is to look at all opportunities to improve the customer experience from end to end, ensuring clear customer communication is generated. Working with key stakeholders across the business to champion customer improvement from pre departure to when they get home. Reviewing customer feedback to understand barriers and areas of improvements and ensuring we deliver our service targets.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy the programme and having the opportunity to learn whilst working, I believe this is a great opportunity for me to document and enhance my existing skills which have mainly been through on the job experience. By doing this course I am able to self develop in a more structured manner.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed existing skills in communication, motivation and people management. The course has enabled me to look at these skills from a different perspective as well as enhancing existing skills I have from working within TUI as a leader. I have learnt new skills and tools in project management which have been helpful in a new role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
At the start of my course, I struggled due to so many changes within the programme around my coach/assessor.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I have all the support I need, I am comfortable to take the time out as and when needed that fits both the needs of the business and my learning needs. In weekly 121s, my line manager will take the time to check in and ensure any support needed is given.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have had great support and listened to my feedback. As I said in a previous question, the main challenges have been around changes and both myself and my assessor better understanding ways of working and learning. I have changed roles through out this apprenticeship.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel some areas of the qualification are really relevant to my role such as communication, team buidling understanding how to project manage better this is important as I want to be flexible within the business and work in other teams. Being remote all of these skills are really important
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
As a remote worker I do not have a lot of these easily available, but my company do provide great opportunities to travel, get involved in social groups through Teams and attend conferences and networking events outside of my working role. This is a great opportunity to meet other people and better understand their roles.
