Mentoring Matters

Mentoring is a cost-effective means of developing people within a business with great benefits in building supportive teams, creating leadership pathways and retaining top staff. Additionally, mentoring doesn’t only benefit mentees, but those doing the mentoring as well.

Why mentoring?

  • Increase the retention of both mentors and mentees within a business

  • Increase the learning & development of junior staff

  • Aid the career progression of both mentors and mentees

  • Multiply the effectiveness of traditional training programs

  • Improve team morale

So, how do you implement a mentoring program?

To begin, you need to establish how you would:

  • Motivate people to be involved
  • communicate expectations
  • define and train key skills for mentors and mentees
  • define boundaries, and
  • structure mentoring relationships?

How would you set mentors and mentees up for success within these relationships?

Our program is streamlined to support you through each of the steps for an efficient and effective program, with lasting benefits.

Peopleconnexion’s Mentoring Matters program is design to not only train mentors and mentees for mentoring relationships, but catalyse the relationships to fast track their development and help them get off to the best possible start.
