Overview
As Internal Communications Undergraduate I assist the Internal Communications team with working with our internal stakeholders to create communication strategies and develop communication plans to facilitate ongoing projects and developments. Daily tasks involve meeting with stakeholders, updating our internal platforms, coordinate the team's calendar & general admin. Each week I create a weekly roundup email send to all employees highlighting the week's news, and a retail update for all retail colleagues.
Skills
I have learnt how to communicate in a professional manner both through email/teams and in-person through meetings and discussions. I have learnt how develop a communications plan from start to finish. I have learnt how to collaborate with stakeholders and work effectively with other teams. I have learnt how to write communications in a clear, concise manner. I have a greater understanding of the role that a HR function has in a company.
Responsibilities
I was given ownership of two weekly newsletters/company updates. I was involved with key projects and had greater involvement in some of the smaller projects. At times, it felt like there were opportunities that I could have been more involved with and a greater responsibility within.
Support & Guidance
From my direct team members I have felt supported. I feel my line manager did offer support. I received the majority of support and guidance from the junior members of the team, who have made a massive positive impact on my experience.
Culture
The general atmosphere was okay, on the whole it has been positive. I found that people are kind and friendly, and the company culture is nice.
Your Impressions
There has been parts of this placement that I have enjoyed a lot; the people I have met, the new experiences I've had, the development of key skills for the future. There has also been times I haven't loved the placement, but that has been down to the role not fitting my personal interests, rather than the opportunities provided.
Yes
It is a good place to work if you are ready to work hard and work with good people. Make sure that the role is right for you!
