  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The guidance system at Willis Towers Watson was extremely good. We were assigned line managers, team buddies and graduate buddies. Each one of these individuals made an asserted effort to make sure we knew what work to do and would constantly ask how it was going. They also took the time to introduce me to a number of different people throughout the organisation.
