Virtual Event - Getting the Most Out of Mentoring Programs

One of the best ways to help develop and retain your valued employees is by having them work with a skilled mentor. Many companies have created programs to facilitate the creation of mentoring partnerships, but the programs have not always delivered the desired results, leading to frustration of both protégés and mentors. However, mentoring programs can deliver great results if they are designed well from the start. This session will examine current practice on mentoring programs and will detail how organizations can get the most out of them.

A recording of the program and Dr. Nemanick's slides will be shared with all paid registrants following the event.

Objectives:

• Describe how firms can benefit from facilitated mentoring programs.
• Identify what structure to create for an effective program.
• Explain what should be covered in mentor and protégé training.
• Summarize how to evaluate the program for success.
