The team works together across Public Relations, Social Media, and Internal Communications to help Unit4’s audiences understand the company’s mission and values, and share relevant news from across the business.
For this new Inside Unit4 Q&A, we had an interesting chat with Unit4’s Corporate Communications team - Salma and Carrie. They told us about what they enjoy the most about working at Unit4, the best experiences they have had during their time in the business, and more.
What do you enjoy most about working at Unit4?
Salma: The work environment. Everyone here is very helpful and supportive, which means a lot to me as I am very early in my career. I started as an intern, and unlike some of my previous internship experiences, I feel that my work here has always been valued, from the beginning. I have been given responsibilities, and great projects to work on. I have an amazing mentor, a great team and every day is a learning journey. What more could I ask for?
What is the main lesson you have learned during your time in this business?
Carrie: Having only been here a few weeks, I think it’s to dig in, meet people, and don’t be afraid to offer your opinion, as it’s always gratefully received.
What has been your best experience whilst working at Unit4?
Salma: My internship. I started it exactly one week after submitting my MBA dissertation, so before I even graduated. And as cliché as this might sound, it has been the best professional opportunity I could ask for. I was, and still am, learning every day. I have been involved in different aspects of communications such as Internal Comms, PR, and Social Media. After only six months, I got promoted and became a full-time employee, handling social media. I haven't even been here for a full year, yet I can already see my career growing thanks to the opportunities Unit4 has given me.
Carrie: The fabulous feedback and thanks I’ve already received from my stakeholders for the projects I’ve supported. It’s so nice to work for a company with a good culture of recognition and gratitude for the work you do.
What is your advice for anyone thinking about joining the company?
Salma: Honestly, just do it! You will learn, you will grow and you will definitely make great connections.
Carrie: If you’re looking for a company with fantastic people and an exciting future ahead, then do it!
