When I started my internship at Envol, I thought I had a decent understanding of Human Resources. My coursework taught me the basics – hiring, compensation, ethics in management. But stepping into the real world of HR consulting? Yeah… I quickly realized I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
The biggest surprise? How much HR is actually about people. I mean really about people. It’s not just processes and policies; it’s connection, clarity, and culture. And it all starts with how you bring someone on board.
In my own internship, the expectations were clearly set from day one. Communication was open, and the process was laid out in a way that made everything feel smooth (and shockingly un-chaotic). I knew what was expected of me, where to find what I needed, and who to reach out to when I hit a wall. This structure gave me the confidence to ask questions, take initiative, and actually grow into Envol – not just exist alongside it.
And that’s when it clicked: this is exactly what we do for our clients, too.
At Envol, we provide flexible, fractional HR and recruitment support that grows with your business. That means we step in as your people partner to meet you where you are, whether you’re hiring your first employee or scaling your team. My onboarding experience was basically a behind-the-scenes look at what we deliver for clients: structure with flexibility, strategy with heart, and a whole lot of human-first thinking.
We help businesses build onboarding and HR practices that set people up for success, long-term. Not just to “tick the box,” but to build trust, create clarity, and start relationships on the right foot. And relationships? They’re everything. They’re the foundation of strong teams, smooth collaboration, and any kind of real business success.
If there’s one thing I’ve really taken away from my time here, it’s this: people matter. More than policies. More than platforms. What makes or breaks a company isn’t just process – it’s how people are treated, supported, and empowered. When relationships are strong, everything else gets easier.
If you’re thinking about partnering with Envol, here’s what to expect: a small-but-mighty team that gets to know your business, builds tailored people strategies, and genuinely cares. We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We do “fits-you-perfectly.”
Interning here has completely changed how I think about HR, its (muy importante!) role in business, and honestly, has made me kind of obsessed with it.
