Services / VIRTUAL MENTORSHIP
Virtual Mentoring Accelerator
Mentoring initiatives are a proven component in the development of high achievers. As reported in Harvard Business Review:
- 84% of CEO’s surveyed credited mentors with helping them avoid costly mistakes
- 84% reported becoming proficient in their roles faster due to mentoring
- 68% reported making better decisions after participating in mentoring programs
Engagement is essential to high performance. Mentoring initiatives build team engagement in “normal” work environments, but this is not a “normal” time. The virtual workplace is not just our current reality – it’s very likely a part of our future.
