The next generation are your FUTURE LEADERS
Gen Z has overtaken the Boomers for the number of workers in the workforce. They have their own career goals and aspirations, and very different expectations of their organisations.
MentorKey can help you bridge the generational gap and ensure that this next generation has those unique expectations met.

New graduates are looking for continual coaching, support, and feedback. They are growth-focused and expect their organisations to meet the pace with which they want to grow.
The right mentoring interactions can meet these expectations by providing:
Career Direction
Sometimes organisations struggle to provide the fast career growth opportunities their junior talent seek. But often, graduates are just looking for opportunities to extend themselves with different projects or lateral moves. Mentoring, when done well can support graduates to explore these opportunities and retain them in the organisation.
Confidence Building
Building a culture of psychological safety: Mentoring provides opportunities for graduates to voice their ideas or concerns in a safe environment. This, in turn, can help leaders understand how to shape their own leadership to seek out these different ideas from others and create a speak up culture.
Skill Development
Graduates have a lot to learn. Mentoring helps graduates quickly develop the essential skills that are not only critical to their personal performance, but inherently valuable to the organisation as well.
Reverse Mentoring
Leaders benefit immensely from their mentee’s views of the world. It helps challenge their strategies and prompt them with innovative ideas.
