Tu nastopi mentorstvo, ki ostaja najbolj učinkovit način za strokovno uvajanje in vodenje. V bistvu mora biti mentorski program nekaj najbolj osnovnega in naravnega v načinu prenosa znanj v organizacijah. Vsekakor morajo mentorji izpolnjevati osnovne pogoje in imeti ustrezna znanja in veščine s katerimi so usposobljeni za vodenje mentorirancev.


This is where mentoring is taking place, which remains the most effective way for professional introduction and leadership. In essence, the mentoring program must be some of the most basic and natural in the way of transferring knowledge to organizations. In any case, the mentors must fulfill the basic conditions and have the appropriate skills and competences with which they are trained to lead mentors.

WHY DO ORGANISATIONS NEED MENTORS AND WHAT IS THEIR ROLE?
The goal of workplace mentorship is to achieve desired corporate performance objectives by enhancing mentor and mentee ability.

Mentors must be organisationally aware of what is transferred to mentees, that is, they must work and enhance performance and organisational structure where the process is implemented for company and workers alike. Mentor must facilitate active awareness in mentees of individual steps and phases leading to goal achievement. The mentor’s role is very important for young people first encountering organisations as these young people are potential employees.

Mentors obtain knowledge and skills to discover talent, which importantly helps organisations choose new employees and organisationally allocate them.

WHAT IS THE MENTORSHIP CODE OF ETHICS?

The mentorship code of ethics is a document signed by mentors at the start of the mentorship process;  with this document, mentors undertake to treat mentees ethically and responsibly.

 

TRAINING PROGRAMME CONTENT  
INTRODUCTION TO MENTORSHIP AND KEY COMPETENCES OF GOOD MENTORS

1) Who can be a mentor?
A mentor can be any person, regardless of age, gender, religion or political affiliation, willing to share and transfer knowledge, skills and experience to mentees. Mentors are those willing to invest their time, energy and knowledge in mentee management and development. 

2) What does it mean to be a mentor and what are mentors’ basic skills and characteristics?
Mentors are trustworthy people who support, lead, advise and transfer knowledge and skills to less-experienced people. Every mentor should ask themselves the following questions:
- Why do I want to be a mentor?
- What are my competences?
- What competences do I need to become a mentor?

Mentors must be operationally competent professionally and able to manage the mentorship relationship. Furthermore, it is important that mentors are resourceful, good communicators, ready for ongoing education, positive and managerially able.
In order to successfully carry out mentorship work, mentors must have professional competences,  knowledge of didactics, methodology and psychology, and a sense for working with people.

3) Why is it important for mentors to know what characteristics and skills they need?
This is important because the skills mentors possess form the way they assess mentees, and such mentor awareness will better enable them to become the best that they can be.

 

4) What mentee characteristics must mentors focus attention on?
The mentor must pay attention to mentee:
- Personal traits in order to optimise mentorship, e.g. how they communicate and how they are best motivated. We must be aware that mentorship relationships are learning processes and through this mentors work those who need to better develop their skills and knowledge. Mentors must be actively aware of mentee characteristics the process is to be successful in terms of leadership, encouragement, and the like.

 

*The mentee work tool enables participants to learn how to observe, ask questions and listen to potential mentees in order to understand their abilities, personal traits and motivation, as well as specific skills, knowledge and experience that together form talent.
Abilities: mental and physical, e.g. speed and accuracy.
Motivation: which generation mentees belongs to and what motivates them.
Knowledge and skills: qualifications and competence.
Talents (which he has in the field where a special distinctive talent is already being mentored).

5) What motivates the mentor?
Mentors cannot expect mentees to enjoy their work to the same degree they do at the start of the process. They must know that the first step in learning is enhancing mentee interest in and eagerness to obtain the knowledge mentors wish to transfer. Praise is a most successful motivational tool, punishment and threat demotivating. For younger generations, competition is strong motivation; here, mentors must ensure mentees have equal access to success; if this is not so, motivation will drop for all mentees, not just those with diminished access to success pursuant to mentor difference. To develop good motivation, mentors must focus attention on what motivates their mentees.

COLLABORATION – MENTOR AND MENTEE

1) How do mentors prepare mentorship plans?
It is important that mentors determine what and how often to monitor progress, goal achievement, and the like. Mentors receive the mentorship plan in the brochure titled “Mentors and Mentorship in Organisations”, where a daily review schedule is provided.

2) Mentor-mentee communication methodology.
The mentor and mentee communicate via channels they agreed upon during their first meeting, this being important for up-to-date two-way notification.
