Thinking of setting up a mentoring scheme? \u00a0Here are some top tips to improve the chances of success:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Educate mentees in how to choose and use a mentor – this will provide a better return on investment than training people in how to be good mentors<\/li>\n
  2. Offer a mentor matching service – but always encourage people to look for their own mentors first – this ensures relevance<\/li>\n
  3. Always encourage people to check out a few potential mentors rather than allocating them one<\/li>\n
  4. Train people who have already been approached to become mentors – avoid training a whole bunch of people who want to mentor, but for whom there is no demand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
