Testimonials: Sessions for The Pensions Regulator 2022-24

During my extended Train the Trainer contract at TPR, I was also asked to create and deliver a great range of additional training to upskill colleagues in the Customer Service, Development and Intelligence teams.

I frequently needed to research and learn about the topics myself, so found it a great opportunity for personal development.

Individual 1-1s, knowledge huddles, action learning sets and team building awaydays, in person and online – I’m proud of the fabulous feedback for my work:

Awayday 1: team event on MBTI

“Philippa Hammond recently delivered an MBTI training session for the whole of CST at our recent Away Day. She received glowing feedback from the team and the CST management team wanted to acknowledge the fantastic delivery from Philippa.”

“You deserve that so much – you are brilliant.” Fiona, Lead Associate, Customer Support

6/12 Month Review

A knowledge huddle to inform team members of responsibilities and processes around the mid and end of year review. Responses from team members include:

“As a newbie it helped me to understand how the review process is structured as all companies have slight differences in their process. Will know for future reviews what I am required to do” Alan

“The 6/12 month review process can seem overwhelming, and sometimes a complete mystery – so this session was really useful. Philippa presented everything we needed to know in an ordered structure, and broke down information in useful sections. I not only learnt quite a lot, but I feel much more confident in completing my 6/12 month review, and feel like I more fully understand what is expected of me. The importance of collating examples on a more frequent basis / That Meeting Expectations is the most achieved goal and a good result / The importance of consistency in performance” Tom

“It was very informative and it was well timed with the mid year review coming up. It highlighted information that was already readily available to us, but gave us the chance to discuss this further. It has helped me understand what I need to do in order to achieve a better overall performance review. It will also help me complete my mid year” Ella

“I felt I could ask a few questions and these were clarified … It helped me understand the procedure and the links provided were helpful” Rebecca
