People value career development and training and judge prospective employers on what they offer. Human Capital's 2009 Candidate Values Survey revealed that an increasing number rate career development and training even higher than remuneration!
The reality of the GFC continues to bite. So, organisations who want to attract and keep talented people need cost-effective strategies that will attract and keep them. Mentoring is a perfect fit that has demonstrated return on investment. For the last seven years one government agency has successfully paired its new graduate employees with mentors and points to strong retention as a result. A communication company links its high potential people to high-flying mentors in the parent company overseas. A major utility company introduced mentoring for trainees and apprentices. These and many other organisations realise that all of the effort of recruitment is wasted if you don't hang on to your talent!
If you want to be an employers of choice, mentoring works!
