Samsung India, amid the coronavirus lockdown, has come up with a unique solution for its internship programme. This year, 36 interns have joined the Samsung workforce online and will work from home. The interns got inducted into Team Samsung virtually, given the focus on remote working and social distancing.
Samsung's HR and IT teams worked round-the-clock to provide corporate coordinates and software solutions for the interns. To make the induction exciting, Samsung India's leadership team joined in via video conferencing to put the new interns at ease.
The induction session was a marathon five-hours, but it was encouraging to see our interns were as cheerful and full of energy.
"I would call this batch of interns one of the luckiest because the first lesson that they have been taught is that with technology and innovation, everything is possible. They have joined Samsung in our endeavour to make remote working and social distancing a success," says Sameer Wadhawan, Head of Human Resources at Samsung India.
"Anxiety to excitement! It was my first #WorkFromHome experience and I had doubts regarding how the entire process would work. But I ended up getting reassured and a nice overview of Samsung," said Silpa PS from XLRI, Jamshedpur.
All interns are required to start work on their projects immediately. To help them, Samsung India has provided each intern with a buddy, guide and mentor.
"It's an unusual experience to be an e-buddy. It's a challenging time, and we all need to pitch in to make this wonderful programme, a success," said Riddhi Ranjan, Insights and Innovation, e-Com Team at Samsung India.
From setting up their home office to finding work-life balance, the two-month #WorkFromHome regimen will be quite a journey for the interns.
