Human Resources Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, checked employee-case decisions against policy and employment-law guidance, restricted access to sensitive records, and documented the agreed follow-up with the manager and employee.
- The team analyzed regrettable attrition across 9 teams and facilitated manager action plans; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team gave managers a clearer basis for consistent people decisions; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team redesigned manager onboarding into 6 practice-based sessions with office hours; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team improved the quality of the candidate or employee experience; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, owned an onboarding audit using HRIS records, resolving missing compensation approvals before the monthly payroll cutoff and retaining access-controlled evidence.
- Under supervision, designed manager coaching using anonymized employee-relations cases, reducing incomplete performance-management submissions from 20 to 8 in the following review cycle.

Human Resources — independent case study
Intern project team member
Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, managed employee relations intake with documented facts, access restrictions, and escalation criteria; checked policy compliance with the relevant adviser before recommending a resolution.
- As a second supervised exercise, aligned HRIS onboarding records with manager training and performance management checkpoints; flagged missing role expectations before the first review rather than waiting for a disputed rating.
- Under supervision, the team audited promotion decisions for level, tenure, and demographic consistency; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
- Built a fictitious employee-case set with a policy question, an incomplete record and an escalation need; defined access limits and separated evidence collection from the decision reserved for an authorized adviser.
- Prepared a manager guide with scenario-based questions and a review checklist; tested whether a reader could choose the correct next step without seeing confidential employee information.
- Owned the fictional employee-case review using documented policy, resolved inconsistent manager instructions and completed a restricted-access decision log for adviser review.
