The second project that I had the opportunity of working on, was planning the return of employees to the work sites. With overwhelming support from my mentors, and various cross-functional teams, we were able to develop key processes in order to deal with these rapid changes in a short time frame. The experience was nothing short of a revelation into how the global FMCG giant operates in times of uncertainty with graceful resolve.
Overall, the P&G experience was one-in-a-lifetime. With the steep learning curve and the sheer scale of the projects, the internship was challenging, and broadened my horizons to a large extent. The freedom given to interns in solving problems and planning solutions was the most refreshing aspect about the company. Coupled with autonomy, the much-needed shepherding of ideas and solutions by the CHRO, and other HR Leadership Team members helped us navigate the initial ambiguity of our projects in a big way.
We all know that 2020 has been rough for everyone, including those in the formal workforce. I’m very thankful to every employee of the organization who were gracious enough to take the time out to interact with and even counsel a mere intern.
