|
| Mentoring
is a process by which business colleagues share wisdom and experience while
acting as a sounding board for training and ideas. Mentoring provides a
dynamic way to develop and motivate employees, enabling then to acquire
new skills and develop their self-awareness. Mentoring is a positive and
effective approach to managing change, confronting challenge and seizing
new opportunities in business. Through mentoring, management can motivate
people at all levels of the organization while supporting their development.
The concept and practice of mentoring is now regarded as a key element in
business development. |
|
An effective
mentoring program can provide:
a non-threatening learning opportunity
encouragement to confront challenges, seize opportunities, overcome problems,
recognize weaknesses and build strengths
networking and partnership opportunities
coaching through a process of empowering and constructive feedback
business expertise to assist with business-related decisions
|
| APEGGA’s
mentoring program adds structure to the mentoring process so that all individuals
in the program understand their roles and responsibilities, and how to meet
their goals. APEGGA will match mentors and mentees (upon request), train
them, provide ongoing support, monitor progress and report back to the company
(if desired). Initially, APEGGA will provide a ½ day seminar for
the company that outlines the process of mentoring and describes the roles
of the mentors and mentees. Manuals will be provided for the Mentors and
the Mentees so they have a reference to guide them after the seminar. Subsequently,
APEGGA will be there for face-to-face or phone back up and with feedback
questionnaires to ensure the relationships are on track. |

between mentor and mentee. Get involved early in the program and take
