Starting a new job can feel lonely, but a buddy program changes that. It's more than just showing someone around - it's about creating real connections; sometimes a first one. A buddy offers guidance and insight on the culture, making the new joiner feel part of the team from day one.
And for the buddy? It's a way to broaden their own network and learn. These programs build collaboration and trust, opening doors for future opportunities. In the end they create stronger, more connected teams.
They're a culture-setting tool, a network builder, and a way to strengthen your career in ways that go beyond the basic onboarding plan.
If you get the chance, say yes.
