begins with understanding
Workplaces now feature no fewer than four generations, and there’s an even balance across all four of them.
Managing generational expectations across the organisation begins by facilitating the right conversations to develop awareness and empathy.

Younger employees tell us they want more feedback. Senior managers tell us that they are frustrated with their junior team members who want a promotion every six months.
With MentorKey, we bridge the gap between these misinformed assumptions by facilitating impactful mentoring:
Mentors learn how to lead a career conversation
It is not about delivering a promotion, it is about helping a mentee explore their strengths and brainstorm how they can stretch themselves out of their comfort zone in their current role to feel like they are continuously learning.
Participants develop empathy
By listening to their mentee’s frustration and understanding how to address them, mentors learn how to apply this in their day-to-day life as a manager.
Mentees receive the feedback they crave
Younger generations of talent have grown up with a growth mindset philosophy. They want to feel like they are on a path to progress. For this, they need to receive feedback and they want to hear how they can fix it, what they can do better.
