Mentorship 101 – The Needs of the Next Generation Defined
In the past, many have relied upon the kindness of others to teach us what we needed to know. The alternative was to “hope” we could pick up enough ourselves to become self-taught success stories.
The challenge of attracting people to our industry is becoming even larger, and organizations must learn to identify the needs of those they wish to hire in order to put significant processes in place to retain them.
During this session, Stephane McShane will discuss the differing needs of the next generations of workers and how significant changes in our training processes must occur. This will include:
- A discussion on how the developmental needs of the next generations differ
- Definitions of what mentorship should entail
- Evaluations of current training methods in contrast with future needs
- An outline an effective mentorship and training methodologies to increase chances of high-level engagement
