Onboarding
The buddy is one of the most important roles for a successful onboarding!
A buddy will:
-
support the onboarding plan and solve any blockers;
-
engage with the different teams - Engineering, Sales, People & Operations, Product, Marketing and Strategy - and invite the new joiner to join the next team meeting;
-
provide formal and informal guidance to the new joiner on the culture and social norms of the team;
-
give insights into the day-to-day activities of the company;
-
share technical knowledge about the team and the company;
-
support new joiners whenever they have questions or concerns;
-
just be there and chat. ☕
Offboarding
Likewise, the buddy also plays an important role during the offboarding.
A buddy will:
-
facilitate the knowledge transfer to the successor. Please ensure the documentation is saved in the team shared drive.
-
engage with the Manager and the People team and assist with any pending tasks
