Mentoring: What Is It? And Why You Need It?
Mentoring helps the organization improve its productivity, profitability, employee engagement, and staff retention rates.
Mentoring in normal parlance refers to support and encouragement provided to people to manage their learning to maximize their potential, develop their skills, and improve their performance to become the person they want to be.
Nevertheless, in an organization mentoring is the team member training system under which a senior or more experienced person (mentor) is assigned to act as an advisor, counselor, or guide to junior employees or trainees. This mentor is responsible for providing support and feedback on the person in his or her charge. In this case, mentoring is about sharing the mentor’s knowledge (manager or senior team member) and experience with his or her mentee/protégé (junior employee/trainee).
