Is an onboarding and knowledge sharing method used to orient you as a new starter. Your buddy is someone who can guide you through your first few weeks of your onboarding. The buddy will also support the line manage during the critical first few days of your joining.
What is the role of your buddy?
Help you feel welcome and to alleviate any feelings of isolation within your new job.
Enable you to become knowledgeable about department practices and organisational culture.
Ensure that your routine queries regarding basic operational issues are dealt with.

Tips for the Buddy
If you are asked to be a buddy, there are some tips that can help you to make the most of the experience:
You are not expected to be an expert on everything, so don't worry about living up to this ideal;
Be patient, relationship with the new joiner can take time to develop;
Don't try to cover everything right away so as not to overwhelm the new joiner. They will need time to digest all the information they are taking in;
Try to know the new joiner more, understand their personality and communication style and adapt accordingly;
Encourage the new joiner to ask questions and give feedback, don't be judgemental, they rely on you to be in a safe space to get answers;
Maintain a positive, mentor attitude;
Give your feedback to HR on your experience as a buddy.
