Jemima Warnock – Payroll Services Officer

Hear from Jemima Warnock, Payroll Services Officer, on the impact Inside First has had to her career

I originally started my career with the Bega Group, seven and a half years ago as a Production worker! Since then I have had plenty of opportunities to grow my career here. After five years in operational roles, including as a Forklift Driver and as a Machine Operator I sought an opportunity to move into our payroll team. My most recent appointment, Payroll Services Officer, was through the Inside First Program.

I have been supported during my transition into payroll by a formal mentoring program and I have found this experience invaluable in setting me up for success in my new role – every day is a learning opportunity. The Bega Group has supported my growth both through the various opportunities I’ve taken on but also through a range of other measures such as attending external payroll seminars, being mentored by my leaders and co-workers, travelling for team events, involvement with other People and Capability departments, completion of the Gallup Clifton Strengths profile, yearly goal setting, and input with projects.

My current role in payroll is my favourite role so far. I love getting to work with people across the business, being faced with different challenges and learning something new every day.
