Short Q&A with Sandra Young, Head of HR

About G&W
Established in 2009, Ground and Water are a team of around 45 consisting of engineers, consultants and office-based staff.
Serving London and southern England, G&W are the leading provider of contaminated land and ground investigation services with over 4,000 projects completed in the UK.
We asked Sandra…
What challenges did you hope Training Sensei would help you with?
I was already bought into the benefits of skills training and supporting professional development is very much a core value of the business. On the whole, the team are too and we previously invested in training solutions in response to requests from them. The engagement from the team was pretty poor because we didn’t have the resource to proactively manage it and it simply fell by the way-side.
I saw Training Sensei were running a personal skills bootcamp which I joined out of personal interest. When I saw the way they delivered their courses as part of an engaging service, I thought that we were much more likely to make use of this platform and it would create a bit of a buzz around learning.
What have been the biggest benefits to you?
How has Sensei been received by the rest of the team?
At Ground and Water Limited the lovely Sandra Young has encouraged daily CPD with the use of Training Sensei. It’s brilliant stuff!
Thank you for thinking of it and producing it.
Francis Williams, Director
