What team do you work in and what are they responsible for?
I work in the People & Culture team, specifically in the People & Culture Operations team. They are responsible for creating, monitoring, and auditing any organisational changes which include but are not limited to, new hires, terminations, shift changes, promotions, payroll, and people data. Evidently, there are a diverse range of functions we cover, from creating the contracts to supporting and addressing employee concerns across the business.
What tips can you share with prospective graduates going through the application or recruitment process with us?
I would recommend that you take the time to look into who we are as an organisation and our values. Maintain a positive, can-do attitude and be confident in your abilities, if you have prepared well you have given yourself every chance to succeed!
What have been some highlights of the Graduate Program?
Some highlights of the graduate program have been the numerous times we have come together as a graduate cohort to take part in development sessions which have been really invaluable. Another was our trip to the Geelong Refinery which was so fascinating to learn more about a critical part of our business and how all the pieces come together to ensure it runs efficiently but more importantly safely. Finally, a massive highlight so far has been the support we have all received and the terrific culture here at Viva which has made me feel welcome from day one.
