Skills
The most important skill in HR is communication and this role helped me practice and improve mine. I learnt a lot of administrative responsibilities and developed my team working skills.
Responsibilities
I was given just enough work as a placement student. My manager included me on pretty much every aspect of HR. He gave me the opportunity to be a part of ethics investigation meetings and work on projects on my own such as service recognition and exit interviews.
Support & Guidance
I got a lot of support and guidance from my manager and other stakeholders within the company. Everyone was always ready to help.
Culture
The company is super diverse and inclusive. I always felt very comfortable and welcomed at work.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year and I would recommend every student to try and do one. This year definitely exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work at at a company like Cummins where everyone was so supportive at every step in my career.
