Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I help with the day to day running of the branch. Supporting the BM with branch tasks that need completing. I also support the staff below me with any queries they have.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoyed the programme and learnt a lot about myself professionally and personally. The colour insights and learning styles were a great insight to my leadership style.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
The fundamental skill I have developed is to have more patience and understanding with others to help get the best from them and out of myself as they are vital in delegation.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It was a very organised programme that offered a lot of support. I knew what I had to do and when to do it by with breakdowns on how to work through the task.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Initially I did not receive very much support from my employer, but then I had another branch manager take over and he was a lot more supportive and very helpful when carrying out tasks for the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My coach was exceptionally helpful especially when I fell behind schedule. She was very positive and reassuring whilst being there to answer any questions that I had.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel it has helped a lot, knowing myself better has helped me become a better manager, being more supportive and sharing my knowledge to help others whilst also being aware of the importance of delegation to deal with more managerial tasks.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
We have quite a few social events during the year, from charity fun nights to just going out off our own backs for dinner.
