  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • On a day to day basis, I currently train out a warehouse management system to new starters and existing colleagues. I interact quite a lot with people coming into the business for the first time, especially the people that I train up on the WMS. I always have the opportunity of interacting and engaging in meaningful conversations with senior management in the business about the work I do and how it impacts the operation as a whole.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

The first one for me would be my presentation skills, based on the positive feedback I received from each of my training sessions and the 1-2-1 feedback from my experienced colleagues this is one skills I have really developed well. I have also learnt to communicate effectively with all types of people from various backgrounds with different attitudes to learning new things.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme is structured very carefully, with significant attention to detail. It's not always easy at first to just to a new structure or environment.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I definitely believe that this helps me to perform better! I submitted a recent module which was titled 'Working in Organisations" it really gave me an insight into organisational structure at work, how people think and feel about work. I found it really intriguing to the point I pondered deeply about it. Finally coming to the understanding that people experience different things at different times and so I need to know how I communicate in different situations.

I know there are some competitions coming up soon within the business, I can not wait to get involved and compete against the rest of my colleagues.
