6 Supporting Our People INDUCTION INFORMATION FOR HR STAFF HR Buddy Scheme Why: There is a wealth of information for new starters to absorb as they make new acquaintances, familiarise themselves with the ethos and culture of the College, orientate themselves around their new work environment and undertake new work responsibilities. Their buddy will be a friendly face, providing informal guidance and encouragement whilst your new starter finds their feet. Who: Buddies will be a colleague or peer, ideally in the same team and on a similar level to the new starter. No training is needed to be a buddy. The new starter s line manager should identify a suitable individual to undertake this role, making their decision based on such things as their knowledge of the work environment, enthusiasm to undertake the role and availability. How long for: Typically a buddy is only required for the first four weeks, however the arrangement can continue for longer if agreed on both sides.. The role of the buddy... Provide a friendly face The buddy should meet the new starter on their first day and explain their role Assist the line manager with the induction checklist by showing the new starter around the campus and taking them through the campus facilities e.g. catering outlets and gym facilities Answer routine questions of a general nature (where is the? who can help with?)
