Mentoring

Mentoring is more than just an opportunity to ‘give back’ to others by supporting and guiding them in their careers – it has a clear practical use in the induction process for new starters.

Practice benefits include:

• Improved performance: improved personal effectiveness
• Time and money saved: improved productivity
• Better risk management: experience fewer critical or Health & Safety incidents
• Motivate people: improved employee engagement, reduced sickness and absenteeism

Mentors also have the satisfaction of knowing that they’ve played a key role in developing others and helping them achieve their goals and ambitions.

I’m Dr. Janine Brooks and I will be your guide for this stream.
