Mentoring Monday


Benefits Of Being A mentor

Make a Positive Impact. Working with a protege allows mentors the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the professional development of less experienced employees. It’s a win/win situation that will enhance both the individuals involved and the organization to which they belong.

Shape the Future. By volunteering to serve as a mentor, you are helping to shape the future. Your suggestions and ideas will have a lasting and broad impact when shared with a protege.

Refine Interpersonal Skills. Mentors will be challenged to develop their own interpersonal skills while working with proteges. Skills such as communication, employee motivation, and human relations will be enhanced. Those with experience as a mentor will be more valuable to their organizations.

Set Goals. By helping another employee establish and achieve meaningful and challenging goals, mentors themselves will learn the skills and value of effective goal setting techniques.

Personal Contact. Mentors relate on a personal level in what is sometimes a large and impersonal organization. Mentors add valuable personal contributions that serve to enrich the work environment of their fellow employees.

Gain Career Perspective. Mentors will gain perspective on their own goals and performance. Mentors will also be able to measure their own achievements and contributions made to their organization.
