Best-in-class organizations have implemented Mentoring Programs and have reaped enormous benefits (both individual and organizational) from such development programs. Among other things, a well-designed Mentoring Program can facilitate personal growth and career mobility, enhance recruiting efforts, improve employee retention and increase collaboration and trust across the organization.
A Mentoring Program should be part of the overall Career Development Model and can be targeted at a specific audience (such as high potentials) or a general population of employees.
