Many governments have identified a need to retain top talent and develop the next generation of leaders. Mentoring is a proven strategy that helps with both, while also improving employee engagement and fostering a better internal team culture. However, few organizations have built and sustained effective mentorship programs.

In this session, leaders from different types of governments will discuss lessons learned from establishing a mentorship program and provide strategies that all governments can use to follow their lead.

Learning Objectives

  • Define the elements of a successful mentoring program.

  • Describe the challenges and benefits of implementing a mentoring program.
