Workplace Mentoring Developing a talent pool is an ongoing challenge for all companies as they strive to remain ahead of the competition and compete in a global market.  Many different development strategies exist and a company that wishes to remain a player needs to incorporate a number of them to grow its talent.   Mentoring is one of the most effective strategies as a stand alone program or as part of an existing workforce development program.  For example, if your company is conducting formal classroom training on specific competencies such as leadership or customer service, adding a mentoring component can translate the theoretical knowledge gained through formal training into “practical” experience. This has the benefit of creating a more completely developed employee by combining theory with practice.   If you want to gain more value from your development initiatives, consider adding mentoring to your mix.
