  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • As a HRBP in SC my role involves a few admin tasks as casing up queries or advising line managers how to use workday, then I have a few projects I work one such as the structure on how we hire internally, the structure of the organisation etc. I absolutely love my career so far!

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have gained the skill of analysing data and producing answers/conclusions by this. My communication skills for a global role have improved also. I would like to get set up on the MOS Excel course and maybe a Project management course if possible.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I thought being in a global team would be difficult as my line manager is based abroad but technology soon showed me this is just the same as having someone right next to you. I enjoy my role and would not change.
