Every employee has something to offer, no matter their generation or seniority.
This is especially true when it comes to mentoring.
In the traditional approach to mentoring, senior employees mentored junior employees and gave them career tips and advice.
But younger employees also have things to contribute.
Increasingly, companies are adopting reverse mentoring, or having younger employees mentor more senior employees on things like technology and younger generations.
Creating mentoring programs that go both ways introduces the spread of ideas within the company. It breaks through generational stereotypes and creates collaborative teams. Instead of employees sticking with people of the same age or experience level, they realize they all have things to contribute and learn from each other.
Mentoring is crucial to successful organizations in the new world of work–and it can go both ways.
