Counselling and Mentoring

Topic: Reverse Mentoring

Group 1

Topic and objective

Topic: Reverse mentoring

Reverse mentoring is just the opposite of traditional mentoring. For example, an executive
can learn about technology, social media, and current trends from a millennial while sharing
their knowledge on critical business skills.

Objective: The goal of this research is to give reverse mentorship to top-level management
or executive-level managers in order to minimise employee turnover in the firm. With this
study, we will poll the firm's workers to determine the primary cause of turnover and why
people leave the organisation so quickly. And then provide the management with possible
solutions and alternatives for the problem.

Designs and methodology: The model's design and approach are mostly based on employee
input and surveys. Initially, we gathered data using WhatsApp polls to determine the primary
cause of turnover among the young generation. Based on that, we will distribute feedback
questionnaires to employees in order to gain a better knowledge of the situation. Finally, we
will devise solutions to the problem and present them to management, as well as assist and
coach them as they implement the ideas.

Specific sample and number: Employees with work ex of 0-3 years; Total sample size is 15

Mock interview: The members of the group explained their expectations from the company
during the mock interview. We interviewed each other and discovered that we were all
searching for an organisation where we could work, learn, and progress while also having a
decent pay and organizational culture and management.

POLLING: We forwarded a poll to understand on which particular topic to focus on. And
through results we came to a conclusion that many of the employees are having problem with
management. So we will carry our further study on Management related issues.
