It really depends on what is important to convey. Having recently started a new job, the hardest thing to get used to was the culture of the office. How people did things. I still struggle with all the little details of what assets are on which server, website, etc. But I also work for a 6000 person company...
Buddy systems can work if the right personality is involved. The best implementation I ever experienced was when I was teaching. The school paired young teachers (in their first 3 years of teaching) with master teachers who had been at it more than 10 years. It was helpful not only in orienting within the school but professionally. The mentor doesn't even need to be in the same discipline/job role as the new hire - the important thing is the personality - you want someone who is open, friendly and knows the organization. One of the most difficult things about joining a new place is being afraid of bothering people with "stupid" questions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
