71% of the Fortune 500 companies have mentoring programs (Scandura, 2006).
In a 2001 survey, women respondents identified the lack of a mentor (69%) as a greater barrier to career advancement than personal and family commitments (Catalyst, 2001).
By providing an authoritative mentoring role, Barrington Training can have a significant role in up- skilling an organisation’s management. The Barrington Mentoring Service is a proactive program in which we provide enhanced skills to managers and supervisors who can then utilise these strategies in managing their own staff.
Barrington Centre can tailor a Mentoring Program to an organisation’s needs. The three available Programs are:
- Utilise Barrington Psychologists as mentors
- Train an organisation’s internal mentors
- Source unique mentors specific to an organisation
The Barrington Mentoring Program will enable organisations to:
- Develop the human assets within an organisation
- Transfer important knowledge from one set of employees to another
- Retain valued employees
- Develop new ways of thinking and acting, allowing employees to stretch their capabilities
- Allow for the demonstration and modelling of behaviours, attitudes and values that lead to success in the organisation.
