...management. Companies realized the benefits of mentoring could be transferred to all employees as a part of development and growth plans. We will look at mentoring to compare the idea that mentoring is an effective and low cost way to develop employees and build that trust and loyalty needed for employees and organizations. We will look at two different articles from authors who have conducted research on the positive effects of employee development through mentoring relationships of the employee/employer.

...• Why do some organizations achieve great success in rolling out a mentoring program, while others achieve only a modicum of success? We believe that the companies that are most successful view corporate mentoring as an organic process, meaning that they understand that mentoring programs evolve and grow. Our experience demonstrates that the difference between mentoring success and failure lies in the ability to build capacity and integrate learning continuously. In order to create a successful mentoring program, you should answer 20 questions. We've included dos and don'ts for each, based on research and our experience in developing a mentoring program at Brown-Forman Corporation. 1. What are our business reasons for developing a mentoring program? You should develop a mentoring program if and when you have solid business reasons, such as to speed up the development of future leaders or to share organizational knowledge. Do your homework. Look at employee retention rates, the percentage of senior managers who will reach retirement in the next five to 10 years, current bench strength, and developmental objectives. Don’t develop a mentoring program because it’s popular or because you've read that it works for other companies. 2. What organizational support exists and what needs to be developed? Successful mentoring initiatives require visible support and involvement from the highest levels of the organization. Do...

Susan, we can start recruitment beginning with a plan. We can make plans on presentations at local businesses, PSAs on the radio, and a booth at community events, but recruitment is just as likely to happen in a casual conversation at the grocery store. Successful recruitment is an outcome of overall program quality. Simply put, if yours is a well-run, professional program, recruitment will be a whole lot easier because those qualities will shine through in everything you do.

...Mentoring and Coaching. Many FE institutions and Initial Teacher Training programmes now include mentoring and coaching support as part of their provision. The purpose of this review is to firstly establish a clear definition of the term mentor and coach, and ask why it might be important to establish a shared understanding of the terms. Secondly, to ascertain why mentoring and coaching has become so popular within further education. Thirdly, to identify how to best implement mentoring and coaching schemes into further educational settings, and finally to develop criteria to critically analyse the mentoring policy and procedures of one further education college and my own practice. Definition. Establishing a clear definition of the term mentor and coach from the literature reviewed is not a simple task; opinions differ depending on the context in which mentoring takes place and the individual perceptions of those involved. Adding to this confusion is the way the literature often uses the terminology of mentoring and coaching interchangeable with little or no agreement on their meaning. (Brockbank and Mcgill, 2006 p8) This may explain why there are so many different approaches to mentoring practice and why the concept of mentoring has altered over time. (Woodd, 1997, p4) One way the literature attempts to distinguish between the terminology of mentoring and coaching is by placing mentoring and coaching at opposite ends of a person/task focused continuum. With coaching...

...Mentoring to success - February 2009 A well-implemented coaching programme is a crucial part of any HR strategy. It provides benefits for both the junior employee and their mentor. Further, it can help create a culture of teamwork and shared goals and responsibilities within an organisation In an ideal world, the employees a company hires would come pre-programmed with all the attributes necessary for them - and hence the organisation - to succeed. But in reality, employees require ongoing learning and development. Naturally, the people best equipped to provide such training are senior personnel within the company; those who have seen and done it all before. This is where mentoring comes in. "Mentoring is important because it provides intergenerational transmission of knowledge and know-how," explains Carol Muller, founding CEO and senior advisor of MentorNet, a California-based non-profit mentoring initiative. "It bridges experience gaps and adds value to professions and organisations, as well as to the individuals involved." While that may sound like Business 101, it hasn't necessarily caught on in the corporate world. Indeed, many local companies do not have formal, organised mentoring systems in place. HareshKhoobchandani, director of the Business and Marketing Organisation, Microsoft Singapore, is convinced of the importance of mentoring schemes. "I'd see it as an opportunity to establish such aprogramme, because I'm seeing the benefits every day at Microsoft...

...less experienced employee (protégé) (Noe, 2010). A coach is a peer or manager that works with the employee to motivate them, develop their skills and provide feedback to the employee (Noe, 2010). Each of these programs foster an environment that shows that companies are concerned with employee growth and development and by partnering a new employee with a veteran employee companies can get new hires up and running much quicker able to make immediate contributions to the company (McCauley, 2007). Mentoring can be an informal or formal experience but the major advantage of a formalized mentoring program is that it ensures access to mentors for all employees, regardless of gender or race (Noe, 2010). In having a successful formal mentorship program, it is also important to match the right mentor with...

...3rd Edi ti on Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring™ Newly revised edition, which includes evidenced-based operational standards Sponsored by Introduction As a strategy for helping young people succeed in school, work and life, mentoring works. It helps give young people the confidence, resources and support they need to achieve their potential. But, the fact is this: these positive outcomes are only possible when young people are engaged in high-quality mentoring relationships. The Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring holds the key to success in producing high-quality relationships. The new edition of the Elements provides six evidence-based standards for practice that incorporate the latest research and best-available practice wisdom. It also reprises advice that appeared in earlier editions on program design and planning; program management; program operations; and program evaluation. We believe adherence to the Elements will ensure that mentoring relationships thrive and endure. They include measures that any mentoring program in any setting can implement, as well as measures that any agency can incorporate within the mentoring element of broad-based, positive youth development programming. This means that community-based, corporate-based, school-based, faith-based and Internet-based mentoring programs can use the Elements to meet the specific needs of the young people they serve and the milieu in which they operate. And, it means that afterschool...

O. Schwartz, Jean E. Rhodes, and Christian S. Chan University of Massachusetts Boston Carla Herrera Public/Private Ventures, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Associations between youths’ relationship profiles and mentoring outcomes were explored in the context of a national, randomized study of 1,139 youths (54% female) in geographically diverse Big Brothers Big Sisters school-based mentoring programs. The sample included youths in Grades 4 –9 from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, the majority of whom were receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Latent profile analysis, a person-oriented approach, was used to identify 3 distinct relational profiles. Mentoring was found to have differential effects depending on youths’ preintervention approach to relationships. In particular, youths who, at baseline, had satisfactory, but not particularly strong, relationships benefited more from mentoring than did youths with profiles characterized by either strongly positive or negative relationships. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Keywords: youth mentoring, parent relationships, teacher relationships, latent profile analysis Youth mentoring programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) pair youths with volunteers who are...

Mentoring by all means is not this “one-sided” task but it is a conglomeration effect on both the mentor and the mentee. Most entrepreneurs view a mentor as someone older and more experience who takes the time to personally give guidance, advice and takes an emotional investment in your success. They don’t think about this process requiring an investment on their part, both in nurturing the relationship and really listening, without being defensive, to advice given.

...on in recent times on the issue of competency mapping. A lot of resource is spent and consultants are invited to do competency mapping. Competency mapping is gaining much more importance and organizations are aware of having good human resources or putting the right people on right job. Competency mapping is important and is an essential exercise. Every well managed firm should have well defined roles and list of competencies required to perform each role effectively. Such list should be used for recruitment, performance management, promotions, placements and training needs identification. In performing or carrying out work, it is essential that the required job skills first be articulated. This information not only helps to identify individuals who have the matching skills for doing the work but also the skills that will enhance the successful performance of the work. Yet often to perform well, it is not enough just to have these skills. It is also critical to complement the skills with the necessary knowledge and attitudes. For e.g. the necessary knowledge will enable an individual to apply the right skills for any work situation that will arise while having the right attitude will motivate him to give his best efforts. These skills, knowledge and attitudes required for the work are usually collectively referred as competencies. How Is “Competency” Defined in the Context of This Article? Many definitions of the term “competencies” have arisen over the past decade...
