HR & Digitalisation Intern

Why Yokogawa? – A Century of Purpose-Driven Progress

At Yokogawa, we believe technology and people can co‑create a better, more sustainable future. In HR, that means building simple, reliable people processes—and empowering employees with clear data, fair performance practices, and compliant, digital-first ways of working.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll join the HR team to accelerate three essential workstreams:

• Digital Transformation & GDPR-by‑design: Map and digitize HR files and workflows using our core platforms (Workday, SharePoint) and good record‑keeping practices. Recommend “right‑place” storage and retention, and propose a pragmatic naming/metadata structure to improve findability. Support privacy and data protection housekeeping (consents, access controls, retention schedules, privacy notices), ensuring our practices align with Yokogawa’s Employee Privacy Notice, Data Protection Policy, and GDPR training guidance.

• Performance & Appraisal (OKR & evaluations): Help coordinate the annual performance cycle (goal setting, mid‑year touchpoints, year‑end evaluations). Analyse feedback and adoption metrics to spot friction points and suggest improvements to our OKR and check‑in habits.

• Policies & Procedures: Review HR policies and handbooks, identify overlaps/gaps, and edit for clarity and consistency across procedures. Convert “paper policies” into simple checklists, pages, and templates so managers and employees can use them easily.

• You will also have the opportunity to contribute to a range of other HR projects, gaining broad experience across the HR function.

What You Bring

• You are at the end of your studies in Human Resources Management, BA or Personnel Sciences/psychology

• You are available for an internship of 6 months, starting January/February 2026

• You are fluent in English, Dutch is a plus

• You are already located in the Netherlands, and can commute to Amersfoort 3 days a week (based on full-time)

• You are interested in working with the employee’s life cycle and in multicultural environments

• You are proactive and curious

• Willingness to grow!

What You’ll Get in Return

• Hands-on experience in HR digitalization and compliance in a matrix organization.

• Exposure to global HR practices and tools.

• A supportive team environment focused on development and collaboration.

• Work in an international environment, from the European HQ
