Mentoring
Mentoring now, in this economy? A business case for mentoring:
Mentoring offers an opportunity to build new relationships, strengthen existing ones and make connections across your organization. When mentoring partners collaborate and truly interact, they deepen and renew their commitment to the organization. Retention increases, morale improves and productivity rises. People feel a sense of shared enterprise, heightened trust and awareness of each other. Emboldened, employees feel more secure and will strive to improve their own skills and organizational goals.
