Best Practices for Mentoring Programs

One of the best ways to help develop and retain your valued employees is by having them work with a skilled mentor. Many organizations have created programs to facilitate the creation and maintenance of mentoring partnerships. But, some programs have not delivered the desired results. Our experience shows that for mentoring programs to deliver the most return on investment, they need to be designed well from the start.

Join Rik Nemanick and Bob Grace, principals of The Leadership Effect, as they look at the current research on mentoring programs and share learning from eleven years of helping organizations like Boeing, Covidien, Monsanto, Nestlé Purina, and Pfizer get the most out of their mentoring programs.

On January 18, 2012, Rik gave two seminars at HRMA St. Louis as part of National Mentoring Month. The pre-dinner meeting was focused on Getting the Most Out of Mentoring, and featured a panel discussion of participants in HRMA’s mentoring program. The dinner presentation was an examination of the best practices in mentoring programs, which was led by Rik and his client, Maggie Morris, talking about the success Monsanto has had with their Technology Mentoring Program.

Rik also gave a seminar at the Medical Group Management Association of St. Louis on Wednesday, January 11th on the benefits of mentoring.
