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

I work in the HR department, specifically in the HRBP team, which stands for human resources business partners. HRBP support the IT function, hence I complete various tasks using Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. I take part in regular Skype calls and meetings, where employees get to communicate about different strategies and projects within the department.
