Competent mentors are one of the biggest assets for an organisation and that is why we provide mentor training to a number of organisations.
DCo deliver programmes to train and equip your mentors and mentees with the skills and techniques that they need to gain the most benefit from the relationship.
This means we prepare mentees to get the most out of a having a mentor, and develop mentors who are confident to handle a range of mentoring challenges and plan successful outcomes.
The business benefits of mentoring are significant and spread far beyond the mentoring relationship:
-
- Creation of an open culture of learning and self development
-
- Increased autonomy of staff who are learning from example rather than following directions
-
- Increased motivation and retention levels of staff involved in the process
-
- Broader horizons of staff with focus on career planning and development opportunities
-
- Improved relationships, interpersonal and communication skills
-
- Focused development planning
-
- The opportunity to identify high potentials or talent in an area
-
- Sharing of business ideas and exchange of information between departments
-
- Achieving the transfer of tacit knowledge that only comes from experience and is hard to come by in other ways
