Develop strategies to provide mentoring and professional development in people.

Discussion and Project Instructions for Mha6100 Week 5

The benefits of providing mentoring and opportunities for professional development can help both individuals and organizations grow. In order to make these programs effective, you need to create strategies tailored to each person’s needs as well as to the organizational goals.

A mentorship program is one way to help those newer or less-experienced in their fields. This would involve pairing mentors with “mentees” – either one-on-one or in groups – so that they can work together on areas such as communication skills, career development, and problem solving techniques. Additionally, companies could hold seminars or workshops on certain topics to help their employees improve and network with each other.

Another strategy is to encourage cross-departmental collaboration between teams so that members from different disciplines can learn from each other’s experiences and expertise. You could offer incentives for people to attend training sessions (e.g. webinars) or job shadow other employees. Finally, providing access to external resources – such as online mentorships/coaching sessions with industry experts – would give individuals an opportunity to further expand their knowledge base outside of the workplace environment.
