Were you 'thrown in at the deep end' or did your facility management educate and support you in your role as a buddy for new staff? Was your experience of being a buddy good or bad? What education or support would have helped you be a better buddy? Thanx emls

In saying that, I am a naturally assertive person, and have had a lot of experience in training and coaching which meant that the entire process was quite smooth and enjoyable for myself and my buddy. Further to that, I have had tremendous satisfaction from the role as recently two of the new worker's who I had supervised have gone on to be fantastic members of our team.
