Are Your People Ready for a Mentor Program?

Leadership development is part of a Business Process Improvement Program and can result in a Long-Term Strategic Advantage for your organization. Thus, nearly all large organizations have training, succession planning and talent development plans. 

Less well understood is how an effective mentoring plan can leverage existing programs - and what makes for an effective mentoring program.  The keys to a successful mentoring program are conceptually simple:

    1. Support for the Mentoring Program
    2. A Great Match between the Mentor-Mentee Pairs
    3. Structure for the Mentor Progam, including Clear and Measurable Goals

We have tools to help you with each step of the process of creating, implementing, expanding and measuring a formal mentoring program, from 50 pairs to 10,000 or more.

Please fill out the form on the right to download checklist to assess Mentor/Mentee readiness to participate in a Mentoring Program. 

We have a variety of tools to help you think about mentoring in the context of your organization’s strategic goals.  These include:

  • WisdomShare®, software to make the administration of mentoring programs painless.  These can be multiple programs within one global enterprise, with tens of thousands of participants or small programs with only 50 mentor-mentee pairs.
  • Strategic Consulting
  • Informational Webinars
  • White Papers on a variety of aspects of mentoring
  • A Blog with industry updates of interest to Talent Development and Human Resources professionals.  
  • Assistance with internal selling of mentoring and demonstrating where mentoring fits with your organization’s strategic objectives.
  • Creation of measurable goals for your mentoring programs.

While all forms of mentoring encourage the development of stronger communication and collaboration skills, at Mentor Resources we specialize in the following types of mentoring: 

New Hires or On-boarding

Skill Transfer

Employee Resource Groups or Business Resource Groups

Talent or Leadership Development

Geographic Diversity and/or Mentoring for Ex-Pats

Reverse Mentoring

We look forward to discussing your organization's needs!
