Most HR students spend years learning how policies are designed, only to start their careers implementing someone else’s version of them. This internship is different: you’ll be close to the people making those decisions and involved in the work behind them.
Zeeman is a Dutch family business with around 1,350 stores in eight countries. Everything we do in HR has to work in eight different labour law systems, eight labour markets and eight sets of expectations about what an employer should be. A policy that is written in the Netherlands must make sense to a store manager in Sevilla. Watching that translation happen, and taking part in it, teaches you something about HR that a single-market company cannot.
We’re a small team in Barcelona, which means you won’t be one of many interns lost in a large structure. There’s no long chain of people between you and the work, and no internship pool where you’re one of thirty. You’ll work directly with our HR Manager and HR Advisor for Spain, gaining hands-on exposure to the day-to-day work of the team.
