Question

What are pros about mentors

Answer 1

An advantage of mentoring is that it helps to acclimate a new worker to the job and organization. By having a "go to" person to ask questions, discuss scenarios and generally learn the nuances of the company, the mentee can become a productive member much more quickly and never feel that he has nowhere to turn for help. If the mentor serves in a supervisory capacity or needs to depend on the performance of the mentee to reach certain objectives, he can be sure the mentee is trained properly.

Answer 2

It helps employees forge meaningful professional relationships.
Mentoring creates relationships where employees will protect one another. Praise on another. Give support to one another at work when it is needed. If an employee doesn’t quit because of their boss, then it’s likely because they have no support network at work. Mentoring in the workplace provides that support network. It doesn’t have to be in that 1-on-1 role either. Mentors can introduce new employees to their entire professional network.

It creates productivity levels that are more consistent.
A workplace needs to have a predictable level of productivity in order to operate efficiently. Bringing in a new employee disrupts that predictability until their skill levels can be brought up to appropriate levels – which may take 12+ months. Mentoring in the workplace can dramatically shorten that time period by giving new employees an experienced insight into the expectations which exist.
