2027 Work & Reward Internship Consulting Programme, London

Description

With 49,000 colleagues in over 140 countries, we help organisations make forward-thinking choices about their people, their investments and the risks they face. Joining our Work & Rewards (W&R) business, you'll be part of this impact right from the start.

In W&R, we help clients worldwide deliver strong business results by ensuring that they have the right people in the right places, with the right skills and at the right cost. We help them unearth new ways to attract, engage and retain talent. Combining our advisory expertise with data and digital tools, we connect with colleagues around the world to support companies in making big decisions at critical moments. On our eight-week internship, you'll do more than experience our work - you'll help us deliver it.

At WTW, we believe difference makes us stronger. We want our workforce to reflect the different and varied markets we operate in and to build a culture of inclusivity that makes colleagues feel welcome, valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive work environment throughout our organisation. We embrace all types of diversity.
