Communications and Government Affairs Review

in the R&D Culture & Engagement team, we produce global communications for R&D. This includes producing a weekly newsletter, creating new culture campaigns to engage R&D people in our culture, and organizing events such as R&D Townhalls, and annual medicine and vaccine awards. My day-to-day differs based on what projects I'm currently working on.

Yes. I feel that my team allow me the freedom to take on projects by myself, whilst also giving me the support I need. I've been able to lead on a couple of projects, such as communications for World Quality Week, which gave me a huge amount of responsibility and helped me to develop my skills.

I've learnt strong communication skills. I've also definitely grown in confidence and how to think quickly on my feet. I think I've developed my creativity and strategic thinking so that I can contribute in meetings and propose new ideas and perspectives.

I had a lot of support from my team. I also had a mentor who is currently doing the graduate programme. She has supported me throughout the year and given me a lot of advice on the company and graduate scheme.

Really good. I felt like everyone I have spoken to and networked with has been very supportive and willing to help.

I really enjoyed it. I think this was definitely down to my team a lot of the time, as I feel very well supported by then and was never worried to ask for help or express concerns.

Yes
