I actually helped design and implement a Buddy Program at my former company. The program works well for the company as well as new hires in the fact that it aids in employee retention and job satisfaction.It also creates an immediate support system for the new employee. Email me and I'll send you some documents on the program

I'm looking to execute a Buddy program and just conducted an extensive internet search on Buddy Program resources. Thought I would share the list below and save you all some time.
Hope this helps and feel free to contact me if you would like to share thoughts on a successful implementation Jennycl@gmail.com
