The next generation are your
future leaders
Gen Z and Millennials now make up the bulk of the people in the enterprise. They have career goals and aspirations informed by their generational experience.
MentorKey can help you bridge the generational gap and ensure that these younger generations have their unique expectations met.
New graduates are looking for continual coaching, support, and feedback. They are growth-focused and want their organisations to meet the pace with which they want to grow.
The right mentoring interactions can meet these expectations by facilitating:
Opportunities for graduates to extend and challenge themselves as they grow.
Quickly develop essential skills that support personal performance, and bring new capabilities to the organisation.
A chance to voice their ideas or concerns in a safe environment.
The benefit of reverse mentoring as leaders understand their mentee’s views of the world.
“MentorKey really gave me the tools and the systems that I needed to provide better mentoring support (as opposed to just a friendly sounding board). It did this while at the same time reflecting on my own leaderships styles, preferences and
development opportunities.”
