I joined WHSmith at the start of 2019 as a casual night shift assistant at Perth international airport. I have been able to progress through to a Team Leader and then to a Store Manager. My favourite thing about my job is being able to interact with both staff & customers on a daily basis. I also love the progression & growth opportunities that WHSmith offers. My colleagues bring great energy and it’s a really supportive environment to work in.
I advise senior leadership on complex business issues, performance, reward and pay, talent and succession goal planning, and more. My role also involves challenging certain senior stakeholders in their decisions. I act as their critical friend for decisions impacting people from both engagement and well-being perspectives, I also work closely with our talent acquisition partners to ensure we have sufficient diversity representation across all levels."
My experience on the WHSmith graduate scheme has been an exciting and transformative journey so far.
