HR works on different key projects throughout the year so not every day will be the same. My day-to-day would typically start with checking and responding to emails. I would have weekly catch-up with my team on key priorities for the week, and having meetings with senior leaders on strategy and workforce organisation. Part of my responsibilities involve supporting with recruitment, and ensuring all data regarding workforce are accurate to gain performance insights.

Working in this role has greatly improved my technical skills and proficiency in Microsoft applications, such as Excel and Power BI. Collaborating and working closely with senior leaders has enhanced my communication and conflict resolution skills. During my placement, I have had the chance to work on multiple HR projects, and each project has helped me gain a deeper understanding of HR policies and recruitment processes.

I joined Unilever during the organisational development period, so I was involved early on in the organisation design and workforce planning in the team I support as an assistant HRBP. I was given a real responsibility and work during my placement. While it was quite stressful during peak time, working on these projects has helped me improve my resilience and provide me with great experience for my future career.

When I first joined, I was mostly going through online training course for my role, which was to be expected. I was quickly involved in a very important project with tight deadline, which was quite stressful. While it was unfortunate that my manager was not around due to external circumstance, I was able to receive support from my work team and guidance for anything I'm new to and unsure about.

Company culture is energetic, friendly and fast-moving. Everyone I work with was friendly and excel in their role. Unilever makes a great effort to ensure everyone get to experience an inclusive and welcoming environment. Although I joined as a placement 西瓜视频, I was respected and felt that my contributions are greatly valued by my team.

Overall, I quite enjoyed my time during the placement. Working on different exciting projects throughout the year and the opportunities to connect with a diverse group of people have greatly benefit my future career. I believe it was a great chance to gain real work experience for my course, which is greatly people-focused.
