Description
This book shows how to develop and retain talented employees though the effective use of facilitated mentoring programmes. Margo Murray provides step-by-step guidelines for putting together a cost-effective programme that fosters employee learning and growth, is personally rewarding for mentors, and contributes measurably to organizational performance. Using seven case studies of thriving and highly-valued mentoring programmes, she shows the diverse forms mentoring programmes can take. Murray also reveals what successful programmes have in common - explicit strategies for matching proteges with compatible mentors and judicious use of evaluation to make course corrections in the programme - and offers advice on how to avoid common pitfalls.
