Overview

Mentoring can be a very positive experience for the employee being mentored and the mentor themselves. By passing on their greater experience, mentors play a crucial role in accelerating the development of the mentee and keep valuable knowledge circulating.

There are many skills that can contribute to a successful mentor/mentee relationship. Training gives a clearer picture of what these are and how they help.

Mentoring lets individual employees access a mentor's experience and expertise in one-to-one conversations. The mentee then applies these insights to fuel their own professional and personal development.
