Overview of Role

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

Role was varied by team. Working with HR Business Partner, I assisted with new hire approvals from senior management, contracts and analysis of headcount and attrition rates. Working in DE&I team, I worked on diversity data comparisons with other banks and analysis on self-identification rates. In recruitment, I assisted with events, creating nametags and registrations rosters.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I received responsibility on tasks early on in the internship which gave me exposure and insight into the various tasks to be completed.
