A Mentor Is Key in Employee Development

A mentor is an employee who participates in a formal or informal relationship that is established between an experienced, knowledgeable employee and an inexperienced or new employee. A mentor relationship also exists between a knowledgeable, experienced employee and any employee who seeks to grow in their ability to contribute and build their career. A mentoring relationship can also exist between an employee and an individual in another organization, but this information focuses on an internal organizational mentor.
