Columbia's Buddy Program
New Employee Buddy Program at Columbia
As the Columbia site continues to grow and welcome new staff, we are piloting a New Employee Buddy program. In addition to onboarding with management and team leads, new hires will have access to a buddy as an extra resource. The goal is to pair new employees with a seasoned employee from another modality who can help orient new hires to the suite and create a warm welcome. Dana Blitz, our newest Sono tech member, has been paired with Diane Staub, one of our mammography techs. Dana and Diane have already been sharing stories and Diane, has already helped Dana with little things in the office. They will enjoy lunch together soon. Columbia is excited to start this program and knows efforts to bolster employee connections are invaluable and hopes this program has a significant, positive impact for our team. JHMI Columbia would like to thank Dana and Diane for pioneering this program!
