Mentoring and Teambuilding Programs

In a recent survey report from The Conference Board, 83% said developing leadership skills is the primary learning objective of their people development efforts. One powerful way to impart those skills and develop upcoming leaders is to partner them with mentors.

How so? Mentoring is a tool to help leverage a company's most valuable resources: PEOPLE. It is all about pairing a promising employee with an experienced one. The mentor instructs by example, conveys the company's values, demonstrates how to perform specific functions, and serves as the mentee's advocate. Mentoring builds confidence, shortens learning curves, clarifies expectations, and boosts employee retention rates. We provide mentoring how-to and tools to ensure a quick start for your new hires.

Consider which employees could benefit from mentoring. Who could serve as mentors? Get help by reviewing the "Top 10 Mentoring Roles and Responsibilities".

1. Match a mentor with each mentee. Use the "Mentee Profile" discussion guide and suggest they explore those topics during their first meeting.
   
   
2. Arrange brief introductions, and communicate the benefits and expectations of the relationship. Use our "Mentoring Progress Review" forms to help them both grow.
   
   
3. Incorporate mentoring responsibilities into the mentor's performance review. We provide verbiage so you can "give credit for mentoring" in performance review.

In his book Teams at the Top, Jon R. Katzenbach asserts "the increasing pace of change demands greater leadership capacity than ever before. Make no mistake: real teams do increase leadership capacity at any level."

Team building sets the stage for employees to perform beyond their specific assignment or expertise. It can lead to cross-training, cross-functioning, and increased employee commitment, resulting in higher employee retention. Team building is serious business, and often critical to an organization's ability to remain competitive. Teams are effective because they fully leverage the commitment and collective strength of employees. We not only show you how . . . we provide the tools to do it in your company and suggest you start with a "fun committee" team.
