The Business
The greatest asset of most organisations is their people. In an era of rapidly-developing technology, greater workforce mobility and increasing customer demands, having a cohesive human capital strategy is crucial for business success.
As an Employee Experience business, we make a difference to the lives of millions of employees around the world. Working with our colleagues across WTW’s Health, Wealth and Careers businesses we help clients deliver strong business results by ensuring that they have the right people in the right places, doing the right things, at the right cost and living the right experience. Through a combination of advice, data and software, we deliver solutions that help organisations improve their business performance through their people. In Work & Reward, we help clients deliver strong business results by ensuring that they have the right people in the right places, doing the right things, at the right cost. Through a combination of advice, data and software, we deliver solutions that help organisations improve their business performance through their people.
Fundamentally, the workforce of today, and the future, is looking (i) to be inspired by a strong sense of purpose in an inclusive environment (ii) to be doing great work in a thriving organisation, (iii) to have a connection with great people and great leaders, and (iv) to be rewarded and to achieve their potential. We work with our clients to make that experience a reality.
Our human capital clients are varied – we advise organisations across all industries, from financial services to retail, telecommunications and energy. In the UK, we advise many of the world’s leading and largest companies and often interact with our offices around the world to provide a truly global service offering. We provide invaluable advice to companies at some of the most exciting and critical moments in their lifecycle, at times when employee engagement and retention is crucial – from mergers and acquisitions to listing on the stock market.
As an intern in our Talent and Reward operations team, you will be part of our Client Impact team. This team consists of executive management, sales enablement and lead generation professionals. You will get the opportunity to support with activities such as creating sales related collateral (mainly in PowerPoint and Word), facilitating marketing events, follow up campaigns, collating and designing internal and external emails and communication material, client segmentation, coordinating prospect and client knowledge across systems and excel, project managing work flow and working with their line manager/operations team on ad-hoc projects.
The Role
Our 8-week Intern Programme is designed for penultimate year students.
An Internship at Willis Towers Watson will give you valuable real-world experience while you are still a student. It will enable you to apply your education in an environment that is both intellectually challenging and rewarding. At the end of your time with us, you will have a greater understanding of what we do and how closely our career offerings match your career ambitions.
You will be treated in the same way as our new graduates, receiving the same quality and quantity of work. It is the perfect opportunity to understand what you could expect if you joined our graduate programme the following year.
You will work as part of the T&R Operations team on a wide variety of projects. You will serve as a key resource for the consultant in charge of each of your engagements by performing many aspects of client development work. You will work alongside our Senior Sellers and consultants on various internal client projects which will give you a good basis of sales and operations.
You will have exposure to real business development activities such as client segmentation, client relationship management tools, sales enablement and lead generation activities which will draw on your creativity, as well as your ability to analyse data, draw conclusions and present results. These experiences will help build your technical knowledge and overall expertise while you benefit from more structured learning interventions.
Qualifications and Training
We have a focussed 12-month training programme for graduates joining EX, which is called LEAP. LEAP is designed to give our graduates an insight into our business, and help them develop the consulting, practical and technical skills they need to succeed at Willis Towers Watson. While you are on your internship, you will be invited to attend any relevant sessions.
We continue to invest in our people and you will have regular opportunities for training throughout your career with us – both on the job and through more formal classroom sessions. Consultants are not required to have a particular qualification; therefore the wide variety of external qualifications we do support are determined by the needs of the business and the individual’s interests.
The Requirements
- Minimum 2:1 degree or equivalent qualifications.
