Mentoring
provides people with a unique relationship based on trust and honesty
that takes a holistic approach towards their personal and professional
development. Mentors provide an excellent opportunity for mentees
to discuss their way forward in life, identifying possible obstacles
and finding ways of overcoming them. It provides mentees with the
rare opportunity of a non- judgmental relationship, where they are
listened to, challenged constructively, given honest feedback, encouraged
to reflect on and learn from experiences, develop well-formed goals
and outcomes and supported fully along the way towards achieving
their goals.
Besides
providing mentoring services, WorkAssist offers support in setting
up mentoring programmes and policies as part of its HR
consultancy services as well as the relevant
training required for the development of effective mentors in
organizations.
