Choosing the Right HR Internship Topic: How Do I Decide Between Policy, Safety, and IR?

nupur0890
I am Nupur Kulkarni, currently pursuing an MBA in HR at GIT_VTU University in Belgaum. I am nearing my internship and have an interest in HR policy, safety, and IR. I am confused about which specific topic I should choose. Can you please guide me?

Thank you.

If the organization permits, I recommend that you aim to work on any or all of the projects mentioned below in the time available:

1. Compliance under various/applicable labor laws.

2. Rationale of Emoluments Structure and the differences between various levels.

3. Delegation, Empowerment, Performance Appraisal Systems with special reference to setting of KRAs/KPAs, Targets, and the frequency of actual performance reviews.

4. Systematization of the HR function - the extent, the depth, and the coverage.

5. Attrition/Retention strategies deployed by the organization and their efficacy.

But kindly check out the organization that is willing to receive you as an intern! Also, inquire if the organization has a supportive, nurturing, and educative culture. In the absence or inadequacy of these, you will have to rely upon your own self and self-learning.

Good Luck.

Regards,
