The initial day was a little all over the place however the rest was fine and went smoothly. The training provider left us without a LDC for almost 4 months.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Not everything necessarily links up to my work however all of the skills that I am learning can be used or changed to fit my role in some way and in the long term will be more helpful and broadening of my overall knowledge.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are company wide exercise classes such as yoga, Zumba, jogs, weights etc. these are all held in the main building and allow for you to network more with the people in the office that you wouldn't necessarily speak to on a day to day basis.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It is an agile working place meaning you are given independence on your working hours and are allowed to do what you want as long as your work is getting done, plus the salary is very good for the type of job role that this job is and requires of you.
