Have you ever started a new job and felt completely lost on the first day? Were you able to “hit the ground running,” or did it take a long time for you to come up to speed with your new company's work environment, workflow processes, and unspoken rules? Starting a new job can be exciting, but it can also be very stressful and overwhelming.
Employees who are new to an organization have the essential skill sets to succeed in their new roles; but they are unfamiliar with their new coworkers and the company's culture and business processes. Assigning a workplace buddy who can help ease the transition into their new roles can be very beneficial for all involved, especially during the onboarding process.
Providing a workplace buddy…
Ensures that our new employee has someone to talk to
Can become unstructured knowledge sharing
Leads to better employee retention especially if it is part of the first few days on the job
Will help the new employee to understand workplace systems and processes and culture better, resulting in a quicker settling-in period and ensure they are productive sooner
