Industrial training report at SGS (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd / Nur Farra Haniena Zaimi

The purpose of this report is to explore and study the practical component of the course of study as well as the application of theory in real-life situations in order to meet the requirements of the Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons) Human Resource Management course for the subject Human Resource Internship (HRM 666). This internship was completed at SGS (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. The goal of this internship, as previously stated, is to become familiarise with the practical aspects and applications of theoretical knowledge. As a result, I completed the internship successfully and put together this report as an overview and summary of what I had learned during the internship period. As an HR intern at SGS (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, I gained numerous essential skills and expertise, mostly concentrating on talent acquisition. When it came to talent acquisition, I had been instructed and trained to source for candidates that met particular criteria for the position available. Afterwards, I have to schedule an interview with the candidate and the hiring manager. As a HR Associate - Business Partner, I was trained in recruitment, contract renewal for existing staff members, staff confirmation and payroll administration. When I took on the HR Associate role, I was exposed to more task and responsibilities. Working at SGS (Malaysia) allowed me to learn about the company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The strengths of SGS are that it implements a hybrid working culture for its employees and provides me with hands-on experience in the HR job scope as an intern. The weaknesses of SGS (Malaysia) are that it has limited interactions with other colleagues due to hybrid working culture and the hiring process for the recruitment is long which tend to make candidate accept another offer. Next, fewer competitors and a well establish company that promise growth are the opportunities that SGS possess. Last but not least, the threat that SGS might oppose are that its organisation brand is quite unfamiliar and it has a high employee turnover rate.
