Mentorship
Commitment to developing others through a collaborative culture.
Mentoring programs are designed to support leaders in creating professional development opportunities within their functions or departments. The intent is to provide leaders with the tools needed to empower our people and organization through the proven benefits of mentoring.
Mentoring is a process that facilitates development by sharing expertise, skills, perspectives, and leadership values through network and collaboration opportunities. Mentoring is a widely recognized method for encouraging professional development. Effective organizations have a diverse mix of talented employees. It is vital to retain and continue to facilitate the growth of professionals by augmenting the existing tools and skills they have to succeed.
Together, we have an opportunity to promote the development of our broader talent pool through mentoring. Mentoring programs seek to increase engagement, cultivate more positive and inclusive workplace cultures, and drive leadership development. Individuals with access to great mentor/mentee relationships see increased skill development, added confidence, and better personal and professional outcomes.
Through mentoring, we also have an opportunity to strengthen the succession bench strength of our talent to reduce the need for external talent at the senior level. A Mentoring Program helps to accelerate talent development as a pipeline of future leaders.
