Hi Shreya,
The buddy system is a procedure in which two people, the buddies, operate together as a single unit so that they are able to monitor and help each other. When this system is used as part of training or the induction of newcomers to an organisation, the less experienced buddy learns more quickly from close and frequent contact with the experienced buddy than when operating alone.
Induction programme for all(including sales and HO people)
General Induction Programme: Covers the organisation's history, mission, goals, policies, structure, benefits, products, customer's profile and other personnel policies.
. Specific Job Induction: Provides an in-depth information on what is expected of the person and his general accountabilities.
. Departmental Induction: Normally done by departmental heads, it covers departmental objectives, and team goals.
PLUS POINTS
For Employees
. A chance to get a clearer picture of the organisation with a comprehensive introduction to its culture and philosophy.
. Introductions to relevant people, which make it easier for new recruits to approach them subsequently.
. Time to settle in, learn and capture information, before expectations on the deliverables begin to come in.
For the Organisation
A chance to spend important, initial time with new employees, in order to get to know him/her better, therefore set expectations accordingly.
A system that ensures new hires are well-settled and productive at a faster pace. Puts them higher-up on the organisation's learning curve.
Helps keep the groups and departments in shape, and updated on their procedures and policies, since they are expected to share the details regularly.
Hope now u got the idea of buddy system and induction programme.
