Top Insider Advice
Don't be afraid to reach out to people and ask silly questions or want to know more about their role etc. People are always willing to help and therefore don't be shy to ask for it. Having a strong network will not only help in terms of understanding the wider business and can provide you with people to rely on when you need support; but it will also open up new opportunities that may not have been possible. Also be clear on what kind of roles you enjoy (make take time to figure out) - but understand what gets you out of bed in the morning and then look for roles that have these aspects as part of them. And definitely don't expect to have a lot of the requirements on job descriptions - do not let this put you off applying. After all, if you had all the list, arguably you shouldn't be applying! The point is to show your transferable skills to the role and willingness to learn, and you should then have opportunities in the role to develop particular skills.

What do you like about your job and the company?
My team are at the heart of our operations and we get exposure across the whole business to deliver innovation and change with a variety of stakeholders. The best part of the role is all of our efforts become visible with the end product - e.g. on shelves in customer stores, or through tangible process improvements etc. which we can see the realized business benefits from. Everyday is different and challenging which means we are always busy but that's the fun part of working in a high performance team!
Greatest achievements
My team won the ICON award for Team of the Year which was a really rewarding moment for all the innovation and change we delivered in 2021, particularly due to the external environment we were operating in (Covid-19) and how busy we were as a team. It was great to celebrate the success together and pause to reflect on what we delivered as a team - and spurs the motivation for all the hard days in the office!

Be at the seat of the table in making the key decisions, this provides an opportunity to hear other people's views across other teams and functions and provides a different perspective as well as the opportunity to shape the direction in a different way. Believe in yourself and your teams always.

Dont be afraid to ask questions, its such a big (but exciting) move when looking to join a new company. We all use different terminology, and interpretations. Take the opportunity to ask as many questions to clarify your understanding of the role, what you need to deliver, but what will it also deliver for you! An employee that enjoys and feels satisfied that they are growing in the role, will be a happily and more productive individual. There is always someone available to answer questions, don't be afraid to ask!
