Critical Success Factors
Strategic Alignment and Commitment
Central to the success of any mentoring program are clarity of purpose and objectives, integration with the organization's strategy and a real commitment from the leadership.
We consider it essential to have a thoughtful and intentional mentor-mentee matching system, a flexible structure with well-defined processes, the existence of a platform or tools to support the program, where mentoring relationships are established outside the direct hierarchical line, with the guarantee of confidentiality to build and maintain trust.
Structure and Process
Through proper training of mentors and mentees, with clear roles and responsibilities for each party and a focus on the mentee's autonomy and protagonism, the two-way nature of learning is recognized and better results are achieved. This removes one of the factors that so often causes mentoring programs to fail: the belief that being a mentor doesn't require any preparation.
Training and Development
A system of regular feedback, evaluation of the impact on the organization and continuous monitoring of the program ensures that the benefits are extracted for all dimensions involved.
