WHY A MENTORING PROGRAM? <strong>Mentoring</strong> is an effective strategy which can contribute significantly to the career development of employees. The introduction of formal mentoring programs in the workplace is relatively new. However, the process of the more experienced offering support, advice and assistance to the younger and less experienced group members has a long history. It is found in the effective elder system of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples, for example, and has also existed in western societies, particularly among men in middle and senior management. It provides a cost-effective work-based learning strategy to achieve career development outcomes for individual employees. It has particular benefits to EEO groups who historically have not had equitable access to developmental opportunities. There are good reasons to consider a mentoring program: the Premier’s Memorandum to Ministers No 95/50 directed all Public Sector agencies to introduce measures to improve significantly the distribution and representation of women in key positions Public Sector reform initiatives require all organisations to improve their people management skills and to make greater use of the diversity of their workforces mentoring is an easy to administer strategy which can improve the self-confidence and job competitiveness of women and other EEO group members mentoring is an effective method for the transference of professional, technical and management skills mentoring focuses on developing employees’ skills and potential, and can thus enhance the diversity of the workforce to reflect the agency’s client groups 6 MENTORING MADE EASY: A PRACTICAL GUIDE
