GENERATIONAL TALENT MENTORING
February 18th, 11:30 am – 1:00pm
Presenting Pat Schnee, University of Texas, PDC
Organizations depend on their workforce to contribute skills and knowledge to help the company grow and succeed. A strong mentoring program is one way to align employee expectations with organizational expectations. Mentoring can also help employees accomplish the following: reach faster enculturation, fulfill potential, build relationships, meet career and professional growth, and increase retention.
Fully half of the 500 biggest businesses in the U.S. now offer mentoring, up from 10% five years ago. If your organization currently has a mentoring program, you need to determine if it meets the needs of all your generational workers. All employees from all generations are saying they want to be developed, be part of the organization’s decisions, and be recognized for their efforts.
This workshop is based on the latest global research that identifies a simple, yet effective “new” mentoring program, that will show you how to build and develop a sustainable system that aligns your organization’s key strategic objectives by increasing the knowledge, experience, and innovative contributions of employees, resulting in a staff valued culture.
