Mentoring Transforms Lives and Organizations: Here's How to Do It Right.
In today's business world, companies are consistently faced with a competitive marketplace. There is competition for services, products, brand recognition, customers, pricing, and the list goes on. But one of today's biggest competitive challenges is finding and retaining talented people. Companies that foster stronger employee relationships are better positioned to attract and retain talent. Employees need to know the company they are working for is interested in their professional growth and development.
Business leaders constantly ask, "How can we hang onto our top talent?"
Former Waffle House President and COO Bert Thornton and Founding Director of the University of West Florida's Executive Mentor Program Dr. Sherry Hartnett have combined to answer this question and more in their book High-Impact Mentoring: A Practical Guide to Creating Value in Other People's Lives.
Mentoring is no longer a "nice-to-have" but a "must-have." At a time when people crave strong work relationships and a sense of connection—and employees expect to be developed—a good mentoring program is your secret weapon for attracting and retaining high performers.
The question is: How do you start a mentoring program within your organization?
Or, if you already have a program that is floundering, how do you reinvigorate your mentoring program for success?

A mentoring program is an opportunity to elevate staff performance and show your staff that you care about their professional development.
HR / People Development Executives:
The list of benefits to large organizations is endless. A mentoring program can develop new managers, retain high performers, support a learning culture, improve employee engagement, create opportunities for reverse mentoring, and so much more.
Higher Education Leaders (Dean, Associate Dean, Assistant Dean):
Mentoring programs are vital to student success. Mentoring programs empower students to get jobs and find success in their careers. At the college and university level, mentoring programs provide the real-world connection that so many students need before starting their careers.
Non-Profit Executive Directors:
A non-profit organization needs its staff and its volunteers to be wholly engaged in the work they are doing. A mentoring program helps keep staff engaged and feeling valued and enables the director to build strong, supporting leaders and volunteer teams.
Mentor Program Managers:
You're currently managing a mentoring program, but you're having trouble maintaining mentor involvement. Or, perhaps mentors are involved, but you would like more mentee participation.
