    Dear @Model.ContactFirstName, 
    <br />
    <br />Thank you for agreeing to be a BIS Contact 
    Person. This role is important in helping new staff members understand how the 
    BIS works. To ensure a new staff member&#39;s successful integration, our goal is to 
    provide the new starter with a welcoming environment and a “safe” place to ask 
    questions, seek advice and learn about our culture. 
</p>
<p>
    As discussed, the new staff 
    member you&#39;ll be assisting is @Model.NSFirstName @Model.NSLastName. Their official start date is @Model.ArrivalDate. During the new starter&#39;s first 90 days of joining the BIS, please meet with them once a week (if possible). Your role is to offer advice and guidance, and  to facilitate a smooth transition into the BIS. 
    <br />
</p>
<p>
    Your responsibilities include: 
</p>
<ul>
    <li>Providing information on policies, procedures, rules, norms, the corporate 
        culture and generally how to get things done at the BIS. </li>
    <li>Helping the new staff 
        member to socialise within the BIS by making introductions to others both inside 
        and outside the work group. </li>
    <li>Sharing personal insights about how a new staff 
        member can be effective and productive at the BIS. </li>
</ul>
<p>
    Tips on being a BIS Contact 
    Person: 
</p>
<ul>
    <li>Don&#39;t worry about needing to being seen as the “expert”. Share your 
        experience and introduce the new staff member to others as necessary. </li>
    <li>Try to 
        find out a preferred style of communication and common interests.</li>
    <li>Be aware 
        that listening is just as important as giving advice.</li>
    <li>Maintain a positive 
        attitude and a supportive coaching spirit. </li>
</ul>
<p>
    Please contact @Model.NSFirstName @Model.NSLastName during their first week and set up a schedule to meet weekly for the next 12 weeks. 
    <br />
    <br />By sharing your knowledge and experience, you will make @Model.NSFirstName @Model.NSLastName feel welcome 
    and part of the BIS family. Please contact me or Human Resources with any questions you might have regarding this programme. 
    <br />
    <br />Thank you again. 
</p>
