Mentorship Program
The framework below is a suggested flow for six meetings with your mentee. Action items can be interchanged as needed. Please incorporate introducing mentee to others within meetings or in-between. If both the mentee and mentor work in the same area, at least one of the six meetings should be a coffee/soda meeting and one should be a lunch meeting.
Throughout this process, the mentor is expected to introduce the mentee to 5-10 key people in the organization who may have an impact on their success. This should be a mix of senior leadership, a success story in a similar role, and employees they will collaboratively work with who is not necessarily part of their day-to-day role.
