Mentorship Programmes: How it works
The mentoring
programme then allows you and your mentor to start building
a trusting working relationship through a series of reflective
discussions about the mentor’s personal experience and how
it can assist you in achieving your goals.
These topics
include:
- Performance
- Confidence
- Abilities
- Knowledge
- Experience
This allows
you to create your own focused action plans to meet pre-determined
performance goals.
Your personal mentor is selected through recruiting an external
expert with the relevant experience and knowledge, or structuring
an internal mentoring programme, whereby a suitable mentor is
selected
from within your organisation.

Mentoring Programs: Frequently Asked
Questions
-
Are
all mentoring programmes the same?
There are several ways of facilitating
a successful business mentoring programme. Some
mentorship programmes comprise of one-on-one communication,
while others are customised to suit groups or
teams. Different mentoring programmes vary in the
benefits that it offers you. At Maestro Performance,
we carefully evaluate your unique requirements
to create a business mentoring programme that suits
your organisation best.
-
How
do I start a mentoring programme in my organisation?
The best way to start a business
mentoring programme is to determine what you want
to achieve from the exercise. Once you have your
set your business mentoring programme goals, it
is time to match you up with the best mentor for
the job. This can be achieved through internal
recruitment, or searching for an experienced mentor
outside of the company. Once the right person
has been found for the business mentoring programme,
you have to facilitate regular meetings with your
mentor in order to make the business mentoring
programme sustainable and effective. It is also
a good idea to track the progress of your business
mentoring programme through the use of performance
indicators and goals achieved. At Maestro Performance,
we do all of this for you. This ensures that you
can devote as much time and commitment to the
mentoring programme as you need, without worrying
about the details.
-
How
long will a mentoring programme take to complete?
The length of a business mentoring
programme depends on the purpose of the programme,
your staff and the goals that have been set. If
the mentoring programme is designed to introduce
experienced new staff into a role at work, you
may only need a mentor for a short time. However,
if the your business mentoring programme has been
designed to train an existing, inexperienced employee
to move into a more senior role, the business
mentoring programme will need to run until the employee
has achieved the pre-determined goals.
