The Merits of Mentoring: An Old Way to Arrive at New Heights
Course Content:
In this age of reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions and down-sizings,
the ability to nurture, educate and develop management and staff
employees seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Customer-driven
companies are taking a step back in order to go forward by acknowledging
the critical need to combine "high tech with high touch."
The formal and informal practice of mentoring is being hailed
as a powerful tool for future planning, performance and company
prosperity.
You will learn:
- How others have implemented and maintained mentoring programs, both formal and informal
- The benefits they have received by instituting and maintaining mentoring programs
- How to sell the benefits of mentoring to upper management and/or to management and staff
- How to design and maintain an effective mentoring program
- How to identify potential mentors and mentees
- How to pair mentors with mentees
- How to develop a mentorship program that encompasses diversity, i.e., minorities, women and persons over 40, the disabled, etc.
Who should attend?
Managers and employees who recognize the value of mentorship
programs and want to learn how to establish and maintain a program
at their workplace.
