In a recent post, I discussed the benefits an organizational mentorship program has for those who wish to improve their organizational skills. Below are the benefits.

One benefit all organizations have to offer to their members is knowledge and experience.

The value of this knowledge to the organization comes from sharing it freely. One particularly effective method for passing along this knowledge is via an organizational mentorship program.

What are the Benefits of an Organizational Mentorship Program?

1.    Increases the self-confidence of the one being mentored.

2.    Enhances career control

3.    Increases communications skills when the mentee wishes to express themselves

4.    Teaches how to accept constructive feedback

5.    Improves interpersonal relationship skills

6.    Broadens the number and quality of new contacts

7.    Helps to better understand the organization’s culture and unspoken rules

People join organizations because the organization has value to them. Freely sharing the organization’s knowledge is a great way to satisfy the need for information along with the need for personal and professional growth.

Being mentored by someone who is knowledgeable can build strong bonds and enhance the perceived value of belonging to the group.
