Impact on the Organization

Mentoring can be a powerfully effective way of  communicating corporate goals and values, and transferring critical skills and  knowledge. Many companies have traditionally relied upon spontaneous, informal  mentoring to identify high-potential employees and guide them into the realm of  management. But, given the intensity of the current workplace environment and  the existing commitments of senior managers, it’s no longer enough to hope that  mentoring “will just happen.” This module is designed to help organizations  systematically promote mentoring relationships that work: relationships in  which an individual with greater expertise or experience successfully counsels,  guides, and coaches a less experienced individual, both professionally and  personally.

Learning Objectives

  • Integrate mentoring concepts into the workplace
  • Review principles of adult learning
  • Introduce proven processes for establishing mentoring pairs
  • Define mentoring steps and time-lines
  • Provide tools for protégé/mentor self-evaluation

Program Description

This module begins by  reviewing mentoring concepts and helping participants apply them in their own  specific company environments. Participants review the principles of adult  learning, discuss how to establish mentoring pairs, and discover tools that can  be used to promote the mentoring process. They will participate in role plays  of mentoring situations that often arise during the relationship. Finally, they  will receive checklists they can use throughout the process.

Time Investment

Typically 4  hours.
