Hi Everyone,
I was warned as before I started my internship at PPR by the HR manager that business has slowed down at the time of the year which may affect the experience that I may get out of this. After my first week at PPR I noticed that this really was the case.
The recent down turn in the mining, and oil and gas sector has particularly affected many different industry's and their growth especially in Perth. I found that there has been a recent change within the business as it is harder to build relationship with companies at a difficult economic period, especially for consultancies. I saw many consultants struggle to find a balance and a pace where they reached harmony and steadiness within their client relationships and the work they delivered for clients.
People are becoming more critical about what they really want for their business, but without the right resources, and profits they will not be able to achieve their objectives.
Living expenses in Perth, have especially seen people spending less, and also becoming less interested in all that companies have to offer. In saying this, I believe that the right PR strategy could be delivered to create relationships with those in our society who may not necessarily be interested or think twice about what a company may be doing. The strategy should deliver what will benefit both the company and the public.
I found through my placement that the work pace on a day to day basis was a struggle for most, even the most experienced people within the company, and it is all due the changing business and economic world.
