There are many ways that a mentoring program can add value to your company, association or organisation. Here are just some of them:
- Mentoring is a very effective way to welcome new employees and induct them into your organisation’s culture and values or to support recently promoted employees.
- Mentoring can offer effective support for minority groups or special employees and promote diversity.
- A faciliated mentoring program can build a collegiate group which is more willing to share their experience and informal knowledge in a productive way.
- Mentoring can assist in succession planning and the development of new leaders, provide a better basis for promotion and advancement decisions and shift high potential individuals onto the fast career track.
The messages that an invitation to participate in a mentoring program can be transformational.
