A buddy program for new public-works hires exists on paper, but buddies are untrained, unscheduled, and never evaluated. What should the CHRO do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A buddy program with no trained buddies is a cardboard cutout at the door. Fund it for real—or take the sign down—because a fake welcome is worse than an honest you-are-on-your-own.
Full Explanation
Onboarding programs need owners and standards, not labels. An unevaluated buddy scheme consumes goodwill and hides the absence of integration. The SPHR action is to evaluate outcomes and either resource the program with training, protected time, and accountability, or retire it. Expanding an empty label or substituting more legal slides does not create a strategy.
