Take advantage of the tools you already have in place to strengthen your organization’s modern mentoring efforts.
Tue Sep 15 2015
If your organization currently has traditional mentoring programs attached to formal training programs, such as onboarding, high potential development, or succession planning, these programs can be a great starting place to expand into modern mentoring. Adding the modern approach will mean that the people participating in paired or traditional mentoring can also have the freedom and access to connect with other participants independently as dictated by their own personal learning needs. If your organization’s formal programs don’t have an accompanying mentoring program, you can simply use the formal program as a launching point for modern mentoring by creating a technology-enabled environment where participants can connect and learn from one another around topics and skills based on formal program curricula or objectives. I recommend a land and expand model: Socialize the practice of modern mentoring with employees who participate in formal programs first (land), and then expand to include other employees at a later date.
