Introduction<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s employee has different expectations from work than
\nemployees have had in the past. Employees want their organizations to offer
\nextensive opportunities for growth, learning and advancement. In addition,
\nemployees have expectations that go beyond the present. The vast majority of
\nemployees in the organization have aspirational desires for career advancement.
\nA challenge HR professionals and learning-development staff and supervisors are
\nexperiencing is guiding employees toward their long-term goals. Some employees
\naspire to become organizational senior leaders and will likely be in roles that
\nwill prepare them for that opportunity. Other employees want specialized tracks
\nto success, tracks that will move them into senior positions with
\nresponsibility over products and programs. Another group of employees isn\u2019t
\nsure what they really would like their careers to be and will benefit from
\nexposure to different roles and responsibilities across different disciplines
\nin the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employees often have visions of their professional future that
\nrequire mentoring to achieve. Mentoring will maximize the benefit of the
\nexperiences, learning and development they will have while working in your
\norganizations. In addition to mentoring, many employees will need coaching at
\ndifferent stages of their development in the organization. Coaching may be
\nneeded for many organizational roles and activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mentoring<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The nature of mentoring varies, and the type of mentoring we
\ngive depends on the needs of different employees. What might seem an easy,
\nquick session with one employee might turn into an extensive engagement for
\nanother. Mentoring in organizations may be formal or informal. Formal mentoring
\nusually involves a group of dedicated members of the staff willing to guide
\nemployees through professional learning they do not know and may not
\nunderstand. Formal mentoring may be administered by the learning and
\ndevelopment office of human resources. Some organizations have ongoing informal
\nmentoring that manifests based on professional affinity between a prospective
\nmentor and mentee. The benefits of mentoring are significant and allow
\nemployees to learn from past experiences of their mentor. This relationship can
\nhelp encourage social confidence, support individual community, and open
\nnetworks to the mentee they did not know existed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coaching<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Organizations must be capable of responding to performance,
\nleadership, and other aspects of organizational life that require attention. An
\nactivity that can help improve all these areas is coaching. Coaching is a
\ndemanding skill that requires training and knowledge on how to execute it and
\ndirectly support the employee\u2019s challenges. Some challenges require more
\nsophisticated coaching by certified coaches, but other less demanding coaching
\nneeds are often performed by supervisors or managers.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are two individuals that are in need of professional
\ncoaching or mentoring. Consider which approach would be most effective for each
