Buddy programs make connections

Starting a new job can feel lonely, but a buddy program changes that. It's more than just showing someone around - it's about creating real connections; sometimes a first one. A buddy offers guidance and insight into the culture, making the new joiner feel part of the team from day one.

And for the buddy? It's a way to broaden their network and learn. These programs build collaboration and trust, opening doors for future opportunities. In the end, they create stronger, more connected teams.

They're a culture-setting tool, a network builder, and a way to strengthen your career in ways that go beyond the basic onboarding plan.

If you get the chance, say yes.
