Today I had the pleasure of watching a number of our summer interns deliver presentations on what they'd learned from their time at Kronos. When people in organizations (that take internships seriously) think about intern programs, they're thinking about how to make the experience valuable for the interns. Can we give them meaty enough projects? Can we give them enough management attention to ensure that they're learning something from their time at the company? Will they learn enough to make their time at our organization meaningful to them?
Listening to our interns speak this morning during their end-of-program presentations reminded me that those of us who've been working for a while can learn a thing or two from them. Here are 3 of the recurring themes I heard this morning that we can all learn from when it comes to bettering our work lives:
We've hired a number of our summer interns in past years, and will be doing so again this year. I look forward to benefiting from the fresh outlook and energy they add to our team.
