I had a very seamless on-boarding experience and was assigned an amazing mentor who wonderfully guided me throughout my internship journey. My project pertained to early career development for Graduate Engineer Trainees, which was modeled as a research encompassing various aspects within the HR domain ranging from university relations, recruitment, manpower planning, career development, compensation, succession planning and talent retention etc. From my perspective as a first-year masters’ student, I couldn’t think of any project better than this as I had the opportunity of working across multiple HR domains within the company and interact with professionals from both HR and line functions. The entire climate was very helpful and nurturing and the inputs that I have gathered through my interactions during this time has not only enhanced my knowledge, but has also helped me challenge many of my pre-held assumptions.
During this time, I also got to witness some of the most amazing employee support and assistance programs to address the challenges posed by the current pandemic. A companywide COVID vaccination program for employees and their families had been organized by the company and the HR team played a very proactive role in its planning and on-ground execution. Their tireless dedication towards this initiative deeply inspired and motivated me to one day function in a similar capacity where I could be actively engaged in managing and assisting employees on such a scale.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Honeywell’s essence is perfectly captured by its ‘9 Behaviors’ which I’ve personally seen being so effortlessly exemplified by all the people I’ve interacted with who made my entire internship journey an enriching and unforgettable experience.
