Dear Sunderam,
the concept of mentoring isto make the new entrant comfortable to the new organisation. The duty of a mentor isto be a friend to the mentee and take active part in solving the problems that the mentee is facing both in professional life and personal life.
Your strategy will be to find out mentors and the crriteria would be
1)senior person in the organisation
2)having hands on experience in the perticular field
3)an approachable person
4)ready to help others etc.
I can give u more insight to this Mentoring process if u tell me who will be the mentees.

Dear Dr.Sunderam,

Good that you would like to initiate Mentoring in your company. It is a very important and effective HR intervention.

I will conduct training programme on "How to Start Mentoring in your Company". There will be two training programmes, one for Mentors (3 days)and another for Mentees or learners (1 day). I will do the following for you:

a) Prepare the policy on Mentoring (whole training programme would revolve around execution of this policy)

b) Prepare a customised schedule of the Mentoring Programme. For this I will,
i) identify the Mentors and train them
ii) identify the Mentees or learners and train them.
iii) do the requisite pre-training activities or surveys to do the above two training programmes.

c) Prepare the Measures to Appraise the Mentoring Programme

d) I will remain guide to the mentors (optional)

You may note that mentoring is not any other training programme and it has to be handled with due sensitivity. If mentoring is not done properly, it may lead to disputes, differences, demotivation, thereby creating more harm than good.

If everything goes well, then you can execute the Mentoring programme by 01 Dec 2008 and appraise the progress of the mentoring programme as on 01 Dec 2009 or 31 Dec 2009.

Recently a renowned company of Hyderabad conducted training for their senior managers on Mentoring. However, senior managers are not satisfied with the training though the delivery of the trainer was very good. The company is still groping in the dark about their mentoring policy.

To make you aware of my training activities, I have attached my Training e-brochure to this post. It will give you information about the list of the training programmes that I conduct.

Looking forward to have positive association with your company.

DR.SUNDERAM,
HERE IS A BROAD OUTLINE OF THE MENTORING FRAMEWORK.
YOU COULD TAKE THIS AND TAILOR IT TO YOUR
-organization's culture
-performance managment system.
-also, career planning / development system.
REGARDS
LEO LINGHAM
==================================
FIRST STAGE,
1.REVIEW THE CORPORATE VISION/ MISSION.
2.REVIEW THE CORPORATE OBJECTIVES/STRATEGIES.
3.REVIEW HR OBJECTIVES/ STRATEGIES.
4.REVIEW THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL RESULTS.
5.REVIEW THE ASSESSMENT RESULTS.[ IF ANY ]
6.DISCUSS WITH THE CEO/ SENIOR MANAGEMENT THE
EXPECTATIONS OF THE MENTORING PROGRAM.
========================================
SECOND STAGE,
the key questions that need to be addressed by an
organisation that is attempting to develop a framework to focus mentoring
activity to achieve strategic goals.
1 WHO ARE THE MENTOREES?
1a Segmentation
The people who might want to receive mentoring or whom the
organisation feels would benefit from mentoring can be described as the
�MENTOREES�. The MENTOREES can usually be segmented into several distinct
groupings. Typically these are people: [ IN YOUR CASE ]
! with high potential/key resources
! going through job transition (eg new managers)
! who want/need career guidance
It is useful to identify whether there are specific segments on which the
organisation wants to focus their mentoring effort or which would receive
particular benefit from mentoring.
====================================
THIRD STAGE
1b Characteristics
Each segment OF MENTOREES will have distinct characteristics that may need specific
solutions. For example, key resources might require mentors outside their
local organisation if part of the requirement is to develop their networks or
understanding of the wider organisation.
In my experience, the market presents three characteristic needs for
mentoring. These are:
! career guidance/sponsorship
! personal/professional development
! support with stress/difficult issues
An individual might present all three needs, but will usually present one. It
is useful to understand the configuration of needs that the MENTOREES will
present as this might affect decisions about MENTORS.
YOU CAN TAKE YOUR REVIEWS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL/
ASSESSMENT REPORTS ETC/ DEVELOP THE CHARACTERISTICS.
================================================== ==
FOURTH STAGE
1c Awareness
Typically, the SELECTED PEOPLE are unaware of what mentoring is and what benefits it
might bring. It is also typically unused to asking for and receiving support
and therefore unaware of the need for mentoring. It is likely that the people
who need it most are the most unaware.
It is useful to consider to what extent the intention to provide mentoring is
a management response to perceived problems in the MENTOREES. In other
words: to what extent is the desire to provide mentoring management driven
or people-driven?
DISCUSS THIS WITH THE CEO/ SENIOR MANAGEMENT.
SEEK THE NOMINATION OF THE PEOPLE, WHO NEEDS
MENTORING.
DISCUSS INDIVIDUALLY WITH THE SELECTED ONES
AND THEN BRIEF THE GROUP AS A WHOLE.
================================================== ===
FIFTH STAGE
AVAILABILITY OF MENTORS INTERNAL .
2a Internal supply/ AVAILABILITY
It is dangerous to assume that anyone can be a good mentor, or that
everyone wants to be. Effective mentoring depends on four key
characteristics:
! appropriate experience
! good relationship management skills
! availability
! generosity
It is best to identify a pool of mentors within the local organisation who will
gain intrinsic satisfaction from being a mentor and from developing others
and who will therefore have the generosity to make themselves available;
who have good �people� skills - particularly listening skills and patience;
and who have the right mix and depth of experience to match the needs of
the person being mentored. In my experience, there is not an abundance of
such people!
It is not wise to force people into being mentors. They will either not do it
or not do it well. If they don�t do it well, the relationship will flounder and
nothing will be gained.
It is useful to identify the potential internal supply OF MENTORS and to audit its scope in
terms of experience and availability. This, alongside market intelligence,
will help you to evaluate your capacity to meet the needs of the MENTOREES
internally.
=============================================
SIXTH STAGE
AVAILABILITY OF MENTORS EXTERNAL.
2b External supply/ AVAILABILITY
Internal supply of mentors is typically most effective when directed at
people:
! who have recently joined the organisation
! going through job transition (eg new managers)
! who want/need career guidance
----------------------------------------
It might not be effective when directed at people:
! with high potential/key resources
! who are experiencing stress of some kind
Such people might need mentors external to the local organisation. It is
useful to consider what external sources of mentoring are available to you
and how you might access them to meet market needs.
==========================================
SEVENTH STAGE
HOW WOULD YOU INTRODUCE THE MENTORS TO THE MENTOREES.
3a Initiative
One of the key decisions to be made when attempting to organise
mentoring activity is where the responsibility for initiating mentoring lies.
There are three options:
! the mentoree - ie the mentoree is stimulated and educated so that it becomes
aware of its need for mentoring, understands how mentoring operates,
knows who potential mentors are and is able to initiate a relationship.
! the mentor - ie the pool of the mentors is encouraged to initiate
mentoring relationships with people who they feel would benefit and to
whom they are willing to offer support.
! the organisation brokers [senior managers ] - ie the organisation brokers mentoring relationships,
either by directing the supply at specific segments within the market or
by matching individuals.
The issue is one of control: to what extent does the organisation want to
control mentoring activity to ensure that it is directed at strategic goals. The
trade is control v contrivance. The risk is that contrived relationships feel
mechanical and are more vulnerable as a result.
=========================================
EIGHTH STAGE
3b Brokerage
There are several possible brokers who could facilitate the bringing of the
MENTORS to MENTOREES of the organisation decides to exercise control. They will
be context-specific, but typically are:
! senior management
! human resources
! line management
For what it�s worth, my preference is for line managers to consider which of
their direct reports might benefit from mentoring, raise their awareness of
mentoring as a possibility and help them identify an appropriate mentor,
either internally or externally. However, this does depend on the level of
maturity and people skills of the line managers.
===============================
NINTH STAGE
3c Forum
Traditionally mentoring takes place in a one-to-one forum. However, with
more than one, this may not be the most effective or productive
forum. Small groups (4 -5) of new hires, for example might benefit from
peer support as well as mentoring, learning from the issues raised by others
as well as themselves. There are clearly advantages to group mentoring
with big target populations.
==================================
TENTH STAGE
3d Expectations
Whatever mechanism is used for bringing the MENTOR to MENTOREE, it is
necessary to manage expectations carefully. I would seriously consider
whether mentoring is a useful label to attach to the process. Mentoring is a
word that is both loosely interpreted and widely misunderstood and which
can therefore generate inappropriate expectations. For example, people
might assume that their mentor is offering to sponsor their career in the
organisation.
There are two main kinds of mentoring relationship:
! issue-focused
! relationship-focused
The former can lead to the latter, but doesn�t have to. Sometimes the
support a person wants can be given in one or two well-timed mentoring
sessions in which specific issues are explored and progressed. The mentor
may have been chosen because of their experience or expertise with regard
to that issue rather than for their suitability as a generic mentor. There is no
need for a mentoring contact to develop into a mentoring relationship.
Others will benefit from regular contact with a mentor over a substantial
period of time. I would guard against the expectation that mentoring has to
be in the form of an on-going relationship. They may only become aware of
this once they have received issue-specific support.
===========================================
ELEVENTH
How to support mentoring activity?
a] Preparation
Both parties will benefit from preparation. Mentors need to consider what
they are prepared to offer and to whom. It helps if they are clear about their
boundaries. It also helps if they have an appreciation of how to conduct a
mentoring session and are aware of any tendency to confuse giving advice
with being helpful.
The preparation of those being mentored can be done in the initial contact
with their mentor, but there may be benefit in people being helped to think
through what they might want from a mentor before meeting them.
b] Experimentation
It is important for both parties to have a period in which they can
experiment and assess suitability before having to formalise their contact
into a mentoring relationship. If the need is issue-specific, two or three
sessions might be all that is required. If the contact has been productive, the
recipient may want to contact the mentor when other difficult issues
emerge - they may not. Either way, the contact should be seen as successful
even if it doesn�t develop into a more formalised relationship.
Longer-term relationships will only sustain from a basis of trust and
confidence. The period of experimentation should be long enough to allow
trust to develop. It should be possible after three sessions for both parties to
assess whether they want to commit to a substantial relationship. It might
be useful to suggest to people that they commit to three sessions after
which they should assess whether they want to continue. It should be clear
that a decision not to continue is not a failure.
c] Support
It might be useful to provide mentors with a process or forum in which
they can review the effectiveness of their mentoring activity. It might also
be useful for them to know where to get support or advice if they are
presented with issues that are outside their expertise or which require
professional support (eg marriage breakdown, financial difficulties,
drug/alcohol addictions etc).

DR.SUNDERAM,
THIS IS THE SECOND HALF OF THE REPLY,
as I COULD NOT FIT THE LOT IN ONE REPLY.

Mentoring is a structured, sustained process for supporting
professional learners through significant career transitions.
Mentoring involves activities which promote and enhance effective
transitions between professional roles, including:
1. identifying learning goals and supporting progression
2. developing increasing learners� control over their learning
3. active listening
4. modelling, observing, articulating and discussing practice to raise
awareness
5. shared learning experiences e.g. via observation or video
6. providing guidance, feedback and, when necessary, direction
7. review and action planning
8. assessing, appraising and accrediting practice
9. brokering a range of support
--------------------------------------------------
Mentors
1. relate sensitively to learners and work through
agreed processes to build trust and confidence
2. model expertise in practice or through conversation
3. relate guidance to evidence from practice and
research
4. broker access to a range of opportunities to address
the different goals of the professional learner
5. observe, analyse and reflect upon professional
practice and make this explicit
6. provide information and feedback that enables
learning from mistakes and success
7. build a learner�s control over their professional
learning
8. use open questions to raise awareness, explore
beliefs, develop plans, understand consequences and
explore and commit to solutions
9. listen actively:
� accommodating and valuing silence
� concentrating on what�s actually being said
� using affirming body language to signal attention
� replaying what�s been said using some of the same
words to reinforce, value and reframe thinking
10. relate practice to assessment and accreditation
frameworks
-------------------------------------
MENTOREE
respond proactively to modelled expertise to acquire
and adapt new knowledge
� respond positively to questions and suggestions from
the mentor

and knowledge and to model good practice
-evolving growing self direction
an evolving process in which the learner takes increasing responsibility for their
professional development as skills, knowledge and self awareness increase
-setting challenging and personal goals
identifying goals that build on what learners know and can do already, but could
not yet achieve alone, whilst attending to both school and individual priorities
-developing an understanding why different approaches work
