Your onboarding buddy is a person from your team or working very closely to your subject matter that will help you integrate smoothly with the team and whole organization. He/she is your first point of contact when you don’t know something or need help. Remember there are no stupid questions! The onboarding buddy can be in charge of some big things like getting you up to speed with the on-going projects but also the small ones like showing you how to make coffee in the office and how the process of borrowing books from the Growbots library works.
