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

I look after the employee at first direct who are within the HSBC group. I design the strategy we want to have for our employees for first direct to be an employer of choice for the UK. I lead a team of 7 FTE and provide them with coaching on a daily basis.

10/10

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

Yes - I have developed existing skills on coaching and learnt some new tools and models to support

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy meeting with other people on the cohorts, and the e-learning. There is a lot to do whilst managing own workload. The virtual classrooms are also really good. We did previously have someone who read from the slides and didn't feel like a good way to spend time, but this was changed following feedback and these are really good and benefical now. As there has been a change I have rated a 9.
