How to manage interns

Supporting the New Interns During Uncertain Work Conditions

Having an intern can be a great time saver, but it also comes with a great deal of responsibility in terms of management. Your assistance will provide a student or recent graduate with a leg up in the professional world by providing them with the knowledge, experience, and connections they need to thrive in the workplace. As the supervisor, you'll want to do everything you can to ensure that the internship is rewarding for everyone involved: the intern, you, and the company. Supporting your new interns during uncertain work conditions is crucial to both, employee and employer.

Supporting the New Interns During Uncertain Work Conditions
Fresh graduates search for an organisation that makes them feel acknowledged, appreciated, comfortable and secure. Times have been tough for interns during the pandemic. Before joining any company, they sure are looking up the perks and benefits provided by any company.
Many people found it hard to unplug after work. They felt alone without the daily social connection as it was prior to COVID-19.

As a good employer, you can assist through the internship program. You can aid the interns to adjust and prosper in fickle times. But How? Let’s learn through this article:

You can help with this as a leader:
•    Train the new team members personally
•    Take the interns to socialize and grab lunch once a week.
•    Create frequent team checks to verify any things that may require your attention
•    Allow your staff to log off earlier, so they may have a significant period of time to spend resting or with their families.

Stay approachable and open to interact
Now more than ever, freshers need the assistance and guidance of their mentors and trainers because they know so little about the workplace. Plan one-on-one video calls with the team for inspection. Find out whether anything is necessary, whether the task is connected. Let them believe you and respect you. Their assurance about your working with them and for them will work wonders, trust me. Make your decision honest and open and keep them in the loop.

Keep your corporate culture and grow it
You're probably weary of hearing that culture is everything. It's true, however. Together with listening, being available and honest, you focus on the culture of your business. It is vital that you try to retain your business culture, especially when employees sitting in their own bubbles may feel invisible and unheard of.

You can enhance the culture of your organisation by:
•    Reach your staff and teams to ensure that you are available for them
•    To make sure staff feel appreciated and heard
•    Provision of resources and supplies to employees in their remote work areas
•    Fix clear, attainable objectives
•    Flexibility
•    Be open and honest for all workers by conducting city halls or employee meetings
•    Enterprise-wide surveys

Organise online events with team
As your team continues to work from home, provide help and advice to them. Many people may miss the workplace and look at the welcoming smiles of their colleagues in the online get together. You can assist them by continuously engaging and connecting as their boss.
You'll find that being honest, flexible, and easy to talk to makes it easier to calm your employees' worries and fears. In exchange, they will do their jobs better and stay loyal to your business after this time of chaos is over.
