3. Create a hypothetical job mandate for the position of the intern in the movie.
Position: Intern
Location: About The Fit (E-commerce Fashion Startup)
Duration: 3-6 months
Reports to: Founder Jules Ostin
Responsibilities:
- Help with the daily operations of the office such as file organizing, scheduling, or supply management.
- Provide personal assistance to top executives, including scheduling, driving, and other duties as needed.
- Own extra tasks beyond what is assigned, taking the initiative to troubleshoot and find solutions for the
best fit.
- Organize and keep office supplies and equipment in check.
- Attend meetings, suggest various business growth ideas from those meetings, and take part in them.
- Encourage collaborative teamwork among members across various projects.
Requirements:
- Always seek learning and growing opportunities in the position.
- Business degree certificate
- Ability to collaborate with others within a fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication skills.
3.a. Keeping in mind the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion policies that a company may be practicing.
- Facilitate collaboration between team members with different cultural and professional backgrounds to
achieve inclusivity.
- Open discussion where all points of view are valued and respected.
- Promote equal mentorship opportunities to help all team members grow, regardless of their background.
- Actively participate in DEI initiatives to strengthen a culture of belonging and empowerment.
3.b. Follow the focus of anticipating the possible problems that arose with the intern in the movie.
Generational Conflict and Technology Gaps:
Ben was much older than the employees, and his experience in traditional work had created a generational
gap with younger employees, particularly in terms of technology use and work methods.
Anticipation: When bringing someone with a different generational background into a tech-driven
environment, the potential for misunderstanding or lag in adopting new tools could arise. In Ben's case, his
lack of familiarity with modern technology and social media was a source of friction initially.
Workplace Dynamics and Overcoming Stereotypes:
Stereotypes created friction initially because some colleagues looked down on his abilities because of his
age.
Anticipation: It's usual to face biases while integrating the elderly workforce. An organization, therefore,
would expect that a proactive diversity and inclusion training approach would ward off ageism and bring
the desired openness of young minds.
Adapting to a Corporate Culture:
Ben was in a very different corporate environment as an intern, having a youthful and fast-paced culture
that makes him feel really out of place at first.

Anticipation: In a corporate setting with a dominant culture, interns may feel disconnected or isolated. The
problem would be anticipated if the company has an existing culture that is not in alignment with the
intern's background.
4. 'Workforce demographics (age and gender) as one of the trends that may pose a challenge to the
Human Resource Management'. Comment on the statement above. Use inputs and excerpts from the
movie to support your side of this statement.
In terms of age demographics, Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old intern, easily has huge problems adjusting to
work in an internationally fast-paced and rapidly driven workplace chock-full of much younger employees.
This generational gap creates broad HRM issues surrounding the technology voids between most of the
older workers and current methods and processes. For instance, Ben initially struggles with technology and
communication tools, while younger employees are more comfortable. HRM must, therefore, offer tailored
training programs to bridge these gaps and ensure inclusivity. Additionally, age-related stereotypes, as seen
when Ben’s contributions are dismissed because of his age, highlight the importance of addressing ageism
through diversity and inclusion policies. On the gender front, the movie shows the challenges of Jules
Ostin, the female CEO, who faces gender biases in a male-dominated tech industry. She is questioned
about her leadership abilities and has to face the challenge of balancing work and family life, which is
more pronounced for women in leadership roles. HRM must ensure an environment that ensures gender
equality, offering equal opportunities and supporting work-life balance initiatives. Further, the pressure
faced by women in balancing work and personal life more than their counterparts is also seen in the film,
and HRM needs to bring policies that make both men and women share caregiving responsibility and
achieve flexibility. Ultimately, The Intern demonstrates that HRM must adapt to the evolving demographic
landscape by fostering an inclusive workplace culture, addressing generational and gender gaps, and
offering targeted support to enhance employee engagement, satisfaction, and overall organizational
success.
1 5.Give your personal input as a takeaway from this movie
One of the most important lessons I learned from the movie is that intergenerational collaboration at work
is truly priceless. The movie portrays that as technology and trends change, wisdom and experience are
irreplaceable qualities. The tagline "Experience never goes out of fashion" really spoke to me, as it
emphasizes knowledge gained over time will provide views that younger generations might miss.
Ben Whittaker really brought this message to life for me. His calm demeanor and wealth of experience
became a stabilizing presence in the fast-paced startup environment. There is one specific moment when
Ben says to Jules, "Sometimes you just have to trust your instincts. You've built something amazing here;
don't let anyone make you doubt it." For me, this moment made me realize how experience can be a
valuable tool in guiding others through their challenges. The wisdom of Ben helps bridge the generational
gap, and shows how mentorship can be transformative.
Another moment that stood out to me was when Jules expressed her struggles as a female entrepreneur: "I
feel like I’m constantly proving myself in a room full of men." Ben’s response, "You’re doing just fine.
Just remember, your experience is your greatest asset; it not only addressed gender dynamics but also
highlighted how Ben’s experience helped Jules recognize her strengths. It made me reflect on how
important it is to recognize and trust our own abilities, no matter the external pressures.
For me, the film reinforced that creating a workplace where diverse experiences are valued leads to greater
innovation and success. It made me realize how essential it is to embrace the unique contributions of
everyone, no matter their age or background.

In summary, The Intern did leave a compelling reminder that, although trends and technologies may
change, the lessons learned from experience remain timeless and essential. It reminded me of how valuable
it can be to listen in on the insights of people who come from a different path in life. Doing so will create a
more inclusive and collaborative workplace where everyone is encouraged to bring their best selves to
work. It's something I'd like to carry with me, both in life and in my work.
2. Capture a geo-tagged/time-stamped image of you watching the movie at the start time and at the
end time.
