Objective:Understand the value in developing an organizational mentoring program, learn the mechanics of mentoring and review a turnkey mentoring program for your organization.

Mentoring is done formally, and informally, in the vast majority of organizations, but information about starting a mentoring program is in short supply. Although a widespread and effective concept, there are as many approaches to mentoring as there are organizations.

Critical to any succession planning effort, mentoring is one of the best means available to organizations to ensure they retain invaluable knowledge and experience. Junior team members are paired up with those more experienced to learn the intricacies and nuances of the organizational environment. The ability to discuss job considerations, career opportunities and problems with experienced and successful mentors can be the difference between success and failure.

The Mentoring Workshop provides attendees an understanding of how mentoring works and the value it provides. Attendees learn about the principles behind successful mentoring programs and the mechanics of making it happen. A turnkey mentoring program that can be adapted to any size organization is provided and implementation discussed.
