    The document provides guidance on induction buddies for new hires. An induction buddy is paired with a new employee to connect, engage, orient, and support them. The buddy's role is to contact the new hire before their start date, meet them on the first day, give them a tour, introduce them to the team, act as a go-to person for questions, and potentially do job shadowing. Having an induction buddy creates a welcoming experience and increases retention by building the team and engagement. Buddies should be positive, interested team players who are good role models.
