Purpose and benefits

As the traditional career ladder crumbles and is replaced by an increasingly organic and fluid structure, individuals and firms are increasingly institutionalising the once informal relationship known as mentoring, having noticeable impact on the way firms implement management and leadership.

Mentoring is important in developing and retaining employees.
Corporate mentoring schemes match seasoned employees with younger colleagues new to either the organisation or a level of responsibility, designed to have measurable impact upon the organisation.
Mentors give advice on goal setting and strategizing, sharing their wisdom.
Mentees gain advice, access to established networks and broader personal and professional perspective.
