Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

The WTW Insight Programme consisted of two days of sessions from 9am to 3:30pm. On the first day, we developed an understanding of expected workplace behaviours and etiquette, before developing a technical understanding of root cause analysis to systematically isolate and prioritise corporate-based scenarios. Following lunch, we explored the importance of networking and how it can make valuable connections, and then we finished the first day with a quiz about WTW. On day two, we learnt about client excellence, improving our client advisory competencies to deeply understand client needs. We then learnt about the STAR approach and discovered the importance of personal branding. Day two was finished with a mini careers fair, where we gained exposure to multiple lines of business.

How would you rate the structure of the insight

5/5

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

It was extremely insightful learning about the business and potential roles available. I learnt that WTW is split into two main segments: health, wealth and career, and risk and broking. We gained exposure to multiple LOBs including Corporate Risk and Broking, Insurance Consulting and Technology, and Retirement.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have definitely learnt new skills as well as developing existing skills. I was able to develop a technical understanding of root cause analysis to systematically isolate and prioritise corporate-based scenarios. Moreover, my networking skills have certainly improved. The programme further improved my client advisory competencies to deeply understand client needs and build stakeholder trust.
