Mentoring That Matters™ Turning Conversations into Growth

When you think about it, the benefits of a mentor are pretty obvious.

The mentee is helped:

• The mentee has someone to turn to with experience and can get solid advice.
• Get help with specific career and developmental needs.
• Better understand the organizational structure and how each part interacts with one another.
• Identify what it takes to be a good team player.

The mentor also benefits:

• Helping others often increases the mentor’s confidence and job satisfaction.
• Listening and connecting with the mentee leads to improved communication skills.
• By staying current on and explaining the benefits and opportunities available to employees in the organization, mentors are more plugged into the things that can help career advancement.

And let’s not forget the organization:

• Increased productivity. Mentees can reach their stride and become fully productive at a faster pace.
• Less turnover! Employees in mentoring relationships tend to have greater job satisfaction – leading to a more positive work environment.

The bottom line is simple… mentoring in the workplace often leads to win-win-win situations for the mentor, mentee and the organization.
