Last week I went attended a day organised for our group Charity Champions. These individuals work hard above and beyond their day jobs to fundraise for our charity of the year (Save the Children). It was great to meet a selection of such passionate people – what an inspiration!

A few weeks ago I went to a networking event in the Security and Fraud division of the group. It was so interesting to hear about other parts of the business and the potential possibilities for my next placement outside of HR in the business.



The HR graduates and I are well and truly stuck into our CIPD courses now.

I can’t believe it’s the end of November already! I have spent the last couple of months working on a variety of projects from looking at the internal talent pool to getting involved with the Groups’ recognition schemes. Alongside another HR graduate I ran a stand at an event in London to promote the use of ecards internally. This was a success and generated interest among colleagues. I have learned how much importance the Group places on thanking colleagues for all of their hard work. [More]

Four weeks into my first placement, I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone! It has made me realise how important it is to make the most of every opportunity as the 9 months will soon fly by. It has been an exciting 4 weeks, and my confidence has grown a massive amount in such a short space of time.

My name is Lyndsay Cherry and I will be starting the HR Graduate Scheme in September 2011, based in London. I graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a degree in Psychology and went to work for a boutique executive search firm for 18 months as a Research Assistant in the HR team. I then applied to the HR scheme at Lloyds Banking Group in January 2011 and after a challenging interview process, it was so rewarding to get the phone call to say I had been accepted on to the scheme!
