One of the best ways to provide value to your employees and your interns is to create a strong mentorship culture. Building quality bonds between interns and staff isn’t hard, but it does require some strategic intention that begins with operations. If your interns are huddled in the back corner of the office, or stuck in cubicles far away from the action, you’re isolating them from the rest of the team. Interns should be woven into the fabric of every workplace.
Don’t assume that every pairing will be a match made in heaven–and sometimes you may need to adjust on the fly and switch partners. Creating lasting relationships requires thought and time, but the end result is worth it. A decade from now, your interns probably won’t remember the projects you gave them, but they will remember their mentors. By creating a strong mentorship program, you’re fostering a constructive work culture that benefits all employees regardless of seniority.
Entrusting interns with real work requires companies and managers to relinquish some control and empower others. Yes, we’ve all heard horror stories about an intern who tweets something they shouldn’t and it instantly becomes news. But these instances are few and far between. The immense value of giving your interns real work far exceeds any potential danger. Allowing young talent to wilt on a vine poses a far greater risk to your company.
Executives should get in the habit of meeting with their interns regularly, even if they aren’t direct reports. These candid, one-on-one conversations are a great opportunity for leaders to hear unfiltered information on what is and isn’t working at the company.
