Managers Guide to Inductions:

Induction Buddies

It’s good practice to designate a trustworthy team member to be the new team member’s “buddy ” , to help answer some of their questions during the first few weeks. The duty of being a buddy can be rotated among several people, giving the new team member the opportunity to get to know other team members more quickly. Brief the team member who is to be the buddy, on the role you would like them to play and give them specific duties in the induction process.

Day of Commencement

Greet the new team member and take them through the Induction Checklist and the Orientation Manual. Have the new team member sign their Orientation Manual to say that they have read and understood our Orientation Manual.
