Course overview
Managers want every new team member to quickly feel at home. After all, the sooner they find their feet, the faster they can play their part in the business. But, the challenges faced in those early days shouldn’t be underestimated. The practicalities, the culture, the way things are done–it’s different everywhere!
A workplace buddy system can help new team members get up to speed. Buddies play a vital role in orientation. They field questions, introduce other co-workers, and show the way to the coffee machine. New team members get a buddy from the 1st day through the 1st few months. That means they’ll learn the ropes more quickly. This course is designed to show your managers how to set up the right buddy system for their workplace.
