Our surgery department recently implemented the Promise Pal program, similar to a "buddy" program. for new employees in their area. The program is designed to give new employees a friend in the department who will help navigate their orientation process. It involves scheduled weekly updates with the "buddy pairs" as well as coffee breaks away from the operating room - all to develop friendships and welcome our new staff to the hospital.
Ultimately, the buddy program is designed to help new hires fit in, learn the culture of our hospital and the operating room and have a contact person for questions and moral support.
We have seen how successful this program has been in the OR, that we now are adopting it in several other areas of the hospital.
