Most of these things must be done by other people but it's the buddy's responsibility to make certain that it gets done and that a complete hard copy of this document exists in the new worker's file.

The buddy needs to determine an orientation schedule, and will need to arrange appointments with other staff members or interns who are responsible for parts of the orientation. Please orient new hardware grants worker on the following.
