The team communication is motivational, we receive continuous updates and feedback from different levels of the business.
I've always enjoyed books and I used to come to WHSmith as a youngster to see the product. I always had warm feelings towards the business so when it came time to choose a career I couldn't think of anywhere better to start my journey.
In my role I've worked across both High Street, the international side and digital. There's lots of opportunities here. People might have preconceptions but the business is really agile and forward thinking!
I would describe the culture at WHSmith as can-do. It's very fast paced, but it's very supportive too. We're one team and we do it together - get through the hard times and celebrate successes as a team!
I am Muslim and my team gave me gifts over Eid. Many of my team are Christian and some are Hindi so I give them all gifts at Christmas and the Hindus brought in sweets on Baisakhi for us all to share. The culture is so special and beautiful here.
The culture at WHSmith is all about family. We offer the chance to progress and grow - it gives colleagues variety and keeps it interesting. Joining the business over 20 years ago is the best thing I've ever done. ( I am now a Team Leader with the Brand InMotion)
I feel like I'm appreciated and I'm proud that I get to go every day and do a job that I love. I love it with a passion. I really do! I've got such a passion for my job.
