I loved the idea of the placement programme, especially the concept of people wanting to change careers and the value that someone with corporate experience could bring. Having additional resources in the team was beneficial, helping the organisation become more inclusive of different groups.
Dee’s corporate background was a significant advantage. She delivered brilliant work around impact measurement and KPI setting. Her understanding of what businesses are looking for greatly informed her contributions. Dee clearly understands how corporations work and think, and she successfully delivered against all the objectives that were set.
My advice to anyone managing an associate in the future is to have a real understanding of where the person wants to end up and how best to support them in reaching their goals.
