  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The report that i did has been taken further and it being used by HR management which is great because the work I have done is actually being used within the organisation. I have enjoyed the work because everything I have been doing has been real work, therefore I feel like I have made a contribution rather than just being given random things to fill my day.
