How a startup that's been fully remote since 2015 uses 'virtual buddies' to onboard new hires — and help them deal with the isolation of work-from-home life. Sponsored by SlackHQ.

Many organizations, however, may struggle to find the right team-building strategy.

"Having someone dedicated to checking in on a new hire builds a stronger support system," Miller said. "When things go back to normal and there's an in-office routine, you still have that intentionality and leadership built into those titles." She added, "It gives an opportunity for peer mentorship and a different sort of connection than around the conference table or by meeting someone in the hallway of an office.

"It can be really easy to feel disconnected or feel isolated," Miller said. "Having someone that they know that they go to and turn to for any random question is really helpful." There are about 12 to 15 culture buddies at Buffer. The culture buddies not only have tenure in their position, but they also receive mentorship training. In this curriculum, culture buddies are taught how to offer constructive feedback to new hires.After 90 days on the team, the company transitions the new hire to a "mastermind buddy," a peer who shares a similar journey and common interests.
