The document describes the objectives and process of a buddy program for new employees. The goals are to help new employees feel welcome and understand the company culture, policies, and day-to-day operations. As part of the program, an experienced employee is assigned as a "buddy" to each new hire. The buddy acts as a mentor and guide, answering questions and assisting with introductions, training, and acclimating to workplace norms. The roles and responsibilities of both the buddy and new employee are outlined, along with guidelines for how long the pairing should last and how often they should meet.
