Mentoring in the Workplace

Mentors within the company can play an important role in the retention of employees. When Mentors are engaged with employees, those mentees form stronger bonds with their company and usually have higher job satisfaction. This is because they feel supported and cared about – and this is important right now.

If a company wants to retain talent, Mentoring can be an important way to do this. If you are part of the mentoring scheme at your company, make sure that you are committed to your mentoring relationship and provide support. If you are a mentee, utilise your mentoring relationship as a way to thrive and stand-out during these difficult times.

Don’t put off your mentoring relationships just because you can’t meet face to face mentoring via real-time videoconferencing yields equivalent outcomes to in-person mentoring.
