🤜 Onboarding buddies for new hires
Buddy programs help new hires adapt faster as well as create a feeling of belonging right away.
- Groups of 2
- Every 2 weeks
- Within-Group
Improved integration and acclimation of new employees.
Faster learning curve.
Help foster an environment of acceptance and connection.
Why this program
The first weeks shape whether a new hire stays. Newcomers have dozens of small questions and often no one they feel comfortable asking.
What it is
A buddy program that connects each new hire with an experienced colleague who helps them understand the culture, the tools, and who does what.
How it works
Every 2 weeks, new hires are matched with an experienced colleague for a one-to-one chat. No sign-up needed: the match email introduces both and suggests topics for the conversation.
