I process assignments, ID for our contractors and handle emails and work with my team to maintain our sla i am also part of our key account team which prioritise assignments from our key agencies to ensure we provide a high level of service and a better experience for employees
I have developed myself especially my confidence and have learned more about the company that i work for from doing this course and have developed my communication skills and understanding other peoples feelings and how best to address situations and ensure that i am being sensitive for situations depending on peoples feeings
I really enjoy my program i am nearly 6 months in to my course and i am constantly learning new things and expanding my knowledge i enjoy learning new things and it makes my work like more exciting as i know i will learn something new each day which keeps me on my toes
I think my program is well organised and structured each month i am set work with deadlines and have virtual meetings with my tutor about my work and how i am doing i am also able to email my tutor if i ever require further information or support or if i have any questions
From my employer so far i have received support especially when it comes to needing documents to refer to for my course work such as organisation charts or company policies however time during the work week isnt provided unless persistently requested from myself so majority of course work i complete is out side of work time
My training provider provides as much support as possible always available to answer any questions or clarify anything in regards to the work i need to complete and when i have my monthly meetings any questions or worries i have are always addressed and make me feel more confident in the course
This qualification will allow me to progress in my role and potentially step up to a higher role within my company it has also assisted me in revisiting applications such as excel and the functions you can use in it which has assisted me in my job and helping other departments
There are no extra curricular activities that i am aware of at my company other than work events such as Christmas parties however we have not had one of them due to covid, due to having a good relationship with people in my team we try to be social and meet up outside of work
Yes
It is a friendly environment and provides many benefits such as birthday holiday currently working from home but also has a good managerial support team if you suffer from mental health they are there to support and have designated mental health people within the company who you can go and speak with
Be committed it can be overwhelming especially if you get the job because there is a lot of training involved to be able to do the job however if you stay committed it will benefit you to progress and dont be scared of asking questions as everyone is always happy to assist no matter what
