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

I support my client group with HR queries, data and talent and succession. I am currently working on creating a training package to up skill line managers in regards to employee relations. I have built relationships with stakeholders and senior management. I have gained the trust and respect of my peers.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I found it difficult to get my head round in the beginning. This is because I was used to tutor led training rather than solely web based. I am used to it now and have completed majority of my course
