| # Buddy Guidance | |
| You've been chosen to be a buddy to a new team member - Yay. Here's some guidance to help you find out what's expected. | |
| A buddy is a friend at Made Tech. Someone friendly who helps new team members connect and find their way, especially in their first 3 months with us when everything is new to them. | |
| Being a buddy is a really important way to help a new person integrate into Made Tech. | |
| When we're back in the office, you will show them all the good lunch places near the office, take them out for a coffee or lunch and help them find their way in the local area. | |
| As we're working remotely currently, most or all of your interactions will happen on video calls which we call 'coffee chats'. | |
| ## Buddies | |
| - proactively and frequently check in with a new starter to see how they are doing. In the first 3 months you may check in 2-3 times per month. After that time you can work out what suits you both, i.e. monthly catchup/remote lunch | |
| - offer their help and answer all questions (or direct to the right person) | |
| - explain how things work here and where to find stuff | |
| - are available to the new team member for any guidance and often just a chat | |
| - are friendly and helpful humans who are here to welcome all our new team members | |
