Contribution as an intern
In the first few days I was asked to sit with the executives and
observe and understand their work and the way of working. Once I was a little aware of the working culture, I was explained about the rules and regulations. A few days under each executive, they taught me their work and explained me their importance eg, time keeping, salary keeping, training, development, etc. A few days later it was my duty to manage time keeping of the employees. The data entry had to be made almost everyday. This included entering employees attendance manually, entering details about new entrants and deleting database for employees who left the organisation. Eventually, under the training of all the executives I learnt a lot for regarding all the activities of the organisation, also about the HR department.
Initiatives as an Intern
Transport Facility: The company may provide transport facility
rather than giving Conveyance allowance. Festival Advance: Salary Survey: Company should conduct salary survey to find out and study recent patterns in similar industry. Based on the finding of such surveys they should restructure the compensation. Flexible To Suit Added Liabilities: Family liabilities also grow. Medical Claim: The premium for the medical and accident benefit policy is paid by the company while the responsibility for the claim is alone in the hands of the employees. The company should provide support to the workmen which would help them to get a quicker reimbursement.
