HR Intern Review

As a HR Operations Intern you will gain insight into the various stages of the employee lifecycle and have exposure to a wide range of HR processes as well as being a contact point for HR queries allowing you to develop a concrete understanding of HR principles. You Primarily monitor the HR Inbox and Case tool used by employees but you also help with some HR entry level responsibilities like helping with the hiring process of a new hire

I've learnt emotional Intelligence and patience for sure - you're engaging with employees and you need to be the person in the conversation who is empathetic and understanding as well as attentive to their concerns so you can help to the best of your ability as opposed to getting overwhelmed and annoyed and agitating the situation. I've also developed in the area of teamworking - it does feel like one giant organ and if you don't keep record of something you've done or provide the correct information when requested it can impact someone else's work

I was given a significant amount of responsibility - although not as much as my colleagues it felt like there was a lot of work I had to do and I feel like that's just a testament to how much work you have to do as an HR Associate.

Quite a lot I would say - I was encouraged to ask questions and there were resources I could refer to if I was stuck

Relaxed and open - everyone is so lovely

It definitely had it's hard moments where I was overwhelmed an slightly stressed but it really all just comes down to the level of responsibility I was given, and once I improved at time management and stress management and doing my job overall, it was very enjoyable.

Yes

Love what you do and where you work and that passion will be conveyed
