program.

In order to create a program that satisfies the needs of the mentors and mentees, an organization must
match the right participants together. No one wants to see mentees drop out, or mentoring
relationships fizzle before they’ve even begun to engage in any real development. To provide your
participants and the organization the best chance at success, follow these vital steps to effective
matching.

1. Identify the Purpose of the Program


There must be clearly defined objectives for the mentoring program. For example, this could be an
increase in employee retention, an increase in employee satisfaction, or an increase in promotion rates
for participants compared to non-participants.

2. Determine the Type of Matching

With the program’s overall purpose in mind, it’s time to choose what type of matching you’ll implement
in the program. Today, there are four popular types of matching to consider:

 Self-matching
 Admin matching
 Bulk matching
 Hybrid matching

3. Create Profiles and Criteria

Mentoring participants will bring different competencies, tenure, and organizational knowledge to the
program. You’ll want to make sure you’re matching them on the right skill traits. To do this, mentors and
mentees fill out rich profiles.

Task 2 & 3:
Abstract:

experienced person and the other is in the phase of learning to achieve a desired goal or target. A strong
mentoring strategy ensures that the mentee feel support and are encouraged to achieve their goals as
they get that confidence that there is enough room and chance for them to develop.

Introduction to organization:

In this assessment we are going to consider a HR representative body “Chartered Institute for Personnel
Development”. CIPD is launching a pilot mentoring program with a view to support their career
development offering. The program’s objectives were to support CIPD members in

 Gaining their first role in HR


 Making a transition in their next role to another area of HR
 Gaining a promotion in HR role
Mentoring Peer-to-Peer (P2P) learning:

Executive Summary:

Mentoring is the most essential part of any organization. Mentoring mainly boosts the productivity of
the students as well as mentors. Mentoring programs should not be considered light by the
organizations even if they have found other forms of learning failed.

A management structure:

The management staff will include owner, manager, mentoring staff, students, security guards, office
boy and the like.

The management plan should at least identify all of the following:

Parameter:

Time and location 9am to 4pm. Monday to Friday, La Trobe Street


Melbourne
Duration Each course of 2 days
Competence required by assessor Must have completed Masters or above
Competence required by mentee Must have passed grade 10 with distinction
Resources required:

For any start or building up the organization, need for different resources grow as the highest priority
requirement. The first step before delivery of mentoring program is the delivery and management plan
that will translate into a resource plan that matches key deliverable.

For any HR training organization the basic requirements are:

 Experience Staff: the staff should not only be educated in the HR stream, but also should be
having great experience of HR policies and trainings.
 Availability of physical mentoring center: there should be training or meeting hall for the
physical session, that would help in concentrating more on training session and practical
classes.
 Budget requirement: there is also a special budget requirement for basic needs like electricity
and some other similar bills, maintenance of property, salary payments of staff, training the
staff to teach in similar way.
 Time commitments: the most essential part of every organization to grow is time commitment.
Once a mentor or any staff member says that they will teach or mentor a mentee within two
weeks only, then by any chance that two weeks’ time should not exceed.it mentor is not sure
about time constraints he/she should not commit about time.
Mode and how communication will occur between the mentor and mentee

There are multiple modes of communication between any mentor and mentee in any organization
irrespective of the type of organization. The most basic modes of communication are one to one also
known as face to face communication and online communication as also known as e-learning or e-
mentoring.

On the other hand e-mentoring is not identical to traditional mentoring when it comes to establish and
maintaining a relationship. According to Bamford (2011,p.150). ‘The internet has given birth to an
explosion of networking sites’. Bamford also suggested the use of technology enables ‘instant learning’
this concept is also called as ‘instant mentoring’ where the mentee gets online advice from mentor who
is prepared to share wisdom and experience without notice.

Mentor and mentee selection process:

The significance of this relationship is captured by Garvey (2004): a center figure of all mentoring
activity is the relationship between the mentee and mentor. This relationship can make a significant
contribution to professional, academic and personal development and learning as the mentee
integrates prior and current experience.

Commentary on induction and how candidates will be matched:

Matching a mentor and mentee for HR training session starts right from the induction of new mentee
who are willing to join session. Here mentor will assess the profile of mentee and that mentor will
classify mentee in each type of group keeping in mind that all learners have same attitude towards
learning.

Mentors and mentee selection criteria, procedures and tools:

Deciding what type of mentor will suite the program is the most critical and vital part of the selection
process.

The executive coach: the mentor who has the mentality that the mentee is concerned about his or her
performance or the mentee wants or is willing to acquire new things. This type of mentor is known as
executive coach.

The elder statesman: in this case the mentee or the individual who is willing to learn is looking for a role
model, or will tap onto past experiences on the part of mentor.

The deep thinker: in this situation, the mentee is always willing to develop a fast pace of learning and to
maintain it or wants to do something beyond the relationship or the business.

The facilitator: in this case the mentor assesses the mentee and comes to the conclusion that the
mentee wants to get on the platform and wants the things done. May be the mentee wants to explore
wider range of issues as they emerge.
Support Structure:

Establishing methods and resources to achieve designated outcomes:

As we have already learned about the various resources required for the HR training sessions, these
include training hall budget for various maintenance bills and like, training relevant stationary items.
Making efficient use of these resources is the must.

 Tools to be used: tools to be used for training a mentee can be of various types. For training
hall, white board, projector for presentation, writing pads, ball points can be used as training
tools. Also, for online training students, there can be various inclusive videos in which each and
every step for session is explained so that distance learners could get whole crunch of the
session easily.
 Addressing differences between mentor and mentee: cultural differences are a very common
issue all over the world for few people. Few mentees may feel inferior that the other mentee in
the same group if the other mentee he is comparing is more talented of if he belongs to the
same culture as that of mentor. It is always essential to address the cultural relationships
between the mentor and mentee. Some of them is by arranging a training session for all
mentors to make them understand that their religion or cultural background should never
discriminate in their mentees.

Action Plan:

The main action plan for this HR training session follows the following steps

 Selecting the right mentors


 Selecting mentees
 Classify them in similar groups
 Setting up the training hall
 Mentors should know more about the mentee’s background and knowledge as and when they
assess them.
 Make us of various above listed tools to train the mentees.
 Mentors should teach the mentees everything right from the basic techniques to get best
human resource selection.
 After all the planned monitoring session, mentees should be examined and then assessed for
further assistance.

Program evaluation on how data will be collected:

For any program plan raw data collection is the first and foremost requirement. For the HR consultation
and training session basic data collection can be of various sources. The most basic one in the selection
depending on the number of participants are in the area. Data about the participants can be collected
from themselves or from the references given by them about their past mentors.

Conclusion, including any recommendations based on the planned outcome and the next steps:
Mentoring; a process for the informal transmission of knowledge social capital, and psychological
support perceived by the recipients as relevant to work, career or professional development; mentoring
entails informal communicate, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a
person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom or experience.

There is always need to evaluate beyond reaction and individual learning. The organization should
compare the actual against the planned capability or the desired outcomes and check for its
effectiveness. Moreover, the organization’s staff should confirm on the overall knowledge capital asset
improvement and overall progress improvement, assets current investments in mentoring and other
learning strategies. Evaluation of all data may it be asset or liability, can analyzed and report the
capacity of the organization to achieve improved results for the mentoring program.
