For new hires, the Buddy system serves as a means of information sharing and onboarding. It means pairing them with a colleague. For the initial few weeks or months of the new project manager’s employment, the buddy, a current employee, serves as a mentor. A detailed written procedure outlining the friends’ responsibilities and the topics they should cover during their first few weeks or months on the job should be provided.
New hires may also be able to share project management concepts, tools, abilities, and tactics they have learned from prior positions through the buddy system. The goal of information sharing is to include technology and creative solutions that will help the business. Last but not least, an office buddy gives the new hire a way to receive private updates on the progress of the onboarding procedure.
