Companywide: “Mentoring is no longer only a way for seasoned executives and managers to counsel and develop less experienced employees and newcomers,” said Annie Stevens, managing partner of ClearRock. “Employees of all ages and organizational levels – from senior executives to non-management workers – are now using mentoring to acquire job-related skills and learn how to refine their softer people-related abilities,” Stevens added. Mentoring is generally less expensive than introducing training programs and takes less time to set up."Much of the knowledge gained from training is retained for only a short time. However, mentors can reinforce learning and deliver immediate feedback," said Stevens. In addition, more organizations are using mentoring to transfer knowledge to younger workers before Baby Boomers retire and to keep employees engaged in their jobs.
