All new employees may be assigned a professional mentor or a buddy upon joining the organisation. The professional mentor is appointed for a period of six months. Ideally, the new employee and the mentor should meet within the first week of work.
The professional mentor should, if possible, come from the same organisational unit as the new employee, though not necessarily from the same job category.
The purpose of having a professional mentor is to help the new employee get off to a good start with their work at UiA. A professional mentor will primarily be responsible for introducing their new colleague to subject-related tasks.
A social buddy includes the new colleague in social activities and cultural offerings, such as events and gatherings organised by the welfare committee, Christmas lunch, "payday greetings," and activities arranged by the company sports team.
Be available for various questions – no question is a silly question!
