Intro

A "buddy" is assigned by HR to newly hired collective members


Checklist

When a new member is hired into the collective, there are several steps that need to be performed. It's the buddy's job to make certain these steps are accomplished. Some of these things must be done by other people (e.g. an ASS) but it's the buddy's responsibility to make certain that it get's done.

  • Added to staff email list, core list, and locks list (someone on staff with mailman admin privileges can do this)
  • Oriented as a certified closer (Another staff member can do this. There is a closing howto.)
  • Given keys (Action committee is responsible for this)
  • Explain vacation/sick/holiday policies (see Policy Development#Staffing_and_HR page for a list of relevant policies.)
  • Signed up for health and dental (HR is responsible for this, but right now it's being done by Oso.)
  • Incorporated into the work schedule (The scheduler does this.)
  • Put on committees (The scheduler records this, but the new hire should choose the committees.)
  • Find place for him/her to put stuff/papers, etc. (Action committee's job to make sure there's a place if issues arise.)
  • Added to the fgstaff group (and any other groups appropriate to their job description) on obsidian. An ASS can do this.
  • Gather applicable tax information (HR is responsible for this, but right now it's being done by Oso.)

Other duties

The buddy should also:

  • check-in once a week,
  • be the "go to" person for questions, and
  • be proactive about questions and issues.
  • be sure to check in on how the new member is doing on completing goals. These goals could have been from the staff or from the new member themselves. The buddy can even help the new collective member distill action plans from items in their job description.
