Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Supporting new business acquisitions with their integration into the Time and Attendance system to improve efficiency and compliance.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Having a tutor with real life experience of having used the methodology being taught is a huge benefit. A supportive coach especially when living with dyslexia is extremely helpful.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Time Management, Communication, Business Knowledge, Key Stakeholder Management
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
There are some structural issues with the set up and when a session was communicated very late to my cohort. Also the web site is clunky and difficult to navigate.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My line manager is available to discuss regularly along with other departments i work with who offer additional support. I am allowed to sit in on related discussions to aid understanding and knowledge regularly.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have a support coach who meets once a month, but is available if required via email.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My improved business knowledge has been key to me becoming better with my role that i have taken the increased workload with very little difference. My efficiency has also improved, but also my task delegation and management.
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
I have set up a Golf teams group and part of a Football teams group. We have Perks at Work to get discounts and points for certain shopping / holidays. Aviva health app.
