It will help them understand the company culture before joining.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduce a mentor or buddy in an email. At SpringWorks, we firmly believe in the buddy system. It means that each new employee is assigned a <em>SpringBuddy<\/em>. A buddy is an experienced colleague who has volunteered to be the new hire\u2019s buddy.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining date, a new hire gets an email from their buddy:<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"582\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/onboarding1.png\" alt=\"onboarding1\" class=\"wp-image-518346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/onboarding1.png 582w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/onboarding1-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/onboarding1-60x46.png 60w, https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/onboarding1-480x365.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-first-day\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_First_Day\"><\/span><strong>The First Day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first day is REALLY important.
