Mentoring is a dynamic and collaborative relationship where a Mentor, who has greater skills, knowledge, and experience, helps a Protégé, who is looking to enhance their skills, knowledge, and career potential. Mentoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge but also about fostering personal and professional growth for both parties.
Studies consistently show that having a mentor is one of the most significant factors influencing an employee’s success, career satisfaction, and overall loyalty to the organization. In today’s rapidly changing workplace, mentoring has become essential in helping new generations of workers adapt, grow, and thrive.
This workshop will equip participants with the tools and understanding to mentor effectively, especially in the context of the new and modern workforce. These include younger generations, such as Gen Z and Millennials, who may have different values, communication styles, and expectations compared to previous generations.
