- 2. Developing a mentorship program within your company is hugely valuable, when it comes to creating positive change & ongoing employee satisfaction.
- 3. A successful mentorship program will help to develop new leadership skills within the company, and help employees develop a path to a successful career with the help of a fellow employee.
- 4. There are two major things that need to be determined when developing the mentorship program: 1. The Program Objective 2. The Pairing Process
- 5. D E T E R M I N I N G T H E O B J E C T I V E ( PA RT 1 ) • Your company will need to know what your goals are before the program can be approved • If there are several issues you think can be helped via a mentorship program…pin point the most important one to focus on first
- 6. D E T E R M I N I N G T H E O B J E C T I V E ( PA RT 2 ) • Make sure to work with company culture • If your office is formal, make the application formal • A more casual office can work with a more casual sign-up process

- 8. G R O U P M E N T O R I N G • In this scenario, a group of employees collaborates to exchange resources and advice • The goal is to work towards mutual professional growth • There is generally a group leader in charge of facilitation

- 10. F L A S H M E N T O R I N G • This is a series of one-time-only meetings • Mentees get to sit down with mentors for a certain amount of time and have a discussion • Protip: This is a great way to get execs & busy higher-ups to mentor: it’s low pressure and doesn't take up much of their busy schedule
