Fostering empowerment, belonging, and impactful connections

Posting date: 06/51/25

Your first-year journey should be smooth and stress-free, and as a new hire at Rentokil Terminix, you’ll experience our dedication to providing you a world-class first-day experience and an unforgettable first-year journey. And you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Our Onboarding Buddy Program offers peer support for new hires during their first three months with the company to discuss their role, build relationships, and overcome challenges.

To truly understand the impact of the experience, we asked Maegan, New Hire, and Kendra, Onboarding Buddy, to talk about their experiences within the program. Read along to discover what they’ve shared.

How has your relationship with your Onboarding Buddy positively impacted your experience as a new hire?

“Having an Onboarding Buddy really helped me feel more at ease at a new company. Coming into a new company can be a scary thing, but when you know you have at least one person that is automatically assigned to pretty much be your friend, it helps alleviate some of the anxiety. It was great having someone I could come to with questions about the company, benefits or how to get more involved, without feeling like I was bothering anyone. My buddy told me about Colleague Resource Groups (CRG), which I am a part of two groups now. Our chats made me feel more comfortable and confident with my new role and enhanced my sense of belonging here at Rentokil Terminix. It definitely made me feel more supported and connected from the start.”

- Maegan, New Hire

How has being an Onboarding Buddy positively impacted your experience at the company?

“As an Onboarding Buddy, I've really enjoyed welcoming new team members and helping them navigate their first 90 days. It's given me a chance to connect with colleagues from different areas of the company and strengthen my own understanding of our processes and culture. Seeing them succeed and become comfortable has been very rewarding. Being an Onboarding Buddy has built my networking platform tremendously throughout the company and has helped me with my personal goals.”

- Kendra, Onboarding Buddy
