Creating a Mentoring Program: Mentoring Partnerships Across the Generations

Engage your employees with a mentoring program that spans across the generations.

With a workforce full of varying degrees of experience, the focus is often on the challenges of balancing a multigenerational staff. But what can be overlooked is what these generations can learn from each other. Senior members in organisations have expressed that they continually want to learn - and not only teach. These findings lead Reitman and Benatti to create the Mentoring Partnership Model, which is a way for new and seasoned employees to partner and learn from each other. This book is a two-part presentation of how to implement this model into your organisation: a facilitator’s handbook outlining the process and a participant’s workbook complete with worksheets and templates. Use the Mentoring Partnership Model to pass on knowledge and retain and engage employees.

• Covers the characteristics of an effective mentor and why mentoring works.
• Offers step-by-step instructions of each stage of the programme.
• Includes the worksheets, evaluation forms, and checklists to use in your programme.
