An effective mentoring program is essential for human resource development in any organization. A well-constructed mentoring program can enhance recruitment and retention strategies, and positively impact staff morale. Mentors and Protégés who make the decision to participate in a mentoring program will benefit most when the mentoring relationship is mutually satisfying, and when they each have a clear understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities in the relationship. This session, intended for any manager, leader, business owner or supervisor who is interested in the topic of mentoring, will introduce you to the key elements of a successful mentoring program, and the opportunities that mentoring can provide.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

Apply a proven design model to meet your organization’s needs
Establish clear, quantifiable objectives for your program
Create and define protégé and mentor profiles
Brief program participants about what is expected of them
Establish mentoring agreements between protégés and mentors
Identify and address organizational barriers to program success
Establish action plans to manage the mentoring relationships on an ongoing basis
