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

My roles and responsibilities in my role include looking after the reward inbox, keeping our benefit pages up to date, planning events such as our 'Annual Recognition Awards', ensuring that we are inclusive of UK & Ireland and making sure everyone is aware and clear on what their benefits are.

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

I have learnt loads of new skills since starting at TUI! From Excel skills to writing emails and learning lots about the HR world like laws and benefits. I have also developed my communication skills and am able to differ my language depending on who I'm talking to.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am finding my programme really enjoyable! I find juggling my workload alongside apprenticeship work alot but there is so much support that it definitely takes a bit of weight off my shoulders

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is really well structured. From TUI's perspective I am rotating into different sectors of HR (Reward, HR Services, Talent Acquisition, Apprenticeships and Learning & development). This ensures that I have a wide range of experience. From my training providers perspective our workshops are split into 3 categories: Knowledge, skills and behaviour

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

TUI gives so much support! I have a weekly 121 meeting with my manager where we go through any questions that I have and look through my workbooks to make sure that everything is okay. We also have a progress review with my training manager every 8 weeks.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Crosby offer loads of support! We are constantly being sent lots of podcasts and videos etc to help us and as mentioned previously we have a progress review every 8 weeks with my line manager and my training manager. We also do lots of self reflection.

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

I have definitely noticed doing lots of things that I have learnt through my apprenticeship in my role. I feel like since starting my apprenticeship I have become much more confident in my role and it has taught me how to ask more professional/helpful questions.

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 so many! We have lots of networking groups from TUI Trotters (a running club) to TUI or not TUI (a group for theatre lovers). We also do lots of social activities like paintballing, rounders and our HR festive party! We also go to lots of conferences which are always really fun
