M1.02. Designing and planning the mentoring process

Question 9

Re. 9. What support should be provided by the organisation – how the mentoring shall be organised?

Support of the organisation, particularly its scope, depends on a mentoring type to be implemented in a given organisation. At the stage of planning the mentoring, it is crucial to plan support necessary for the mentoring process: e.g. support of the IT Department, especially if mentoring is to be conducted (at least partially) as e-mentoring. Support of the HR Department is needed at the stage of recruitment to the programme and possible competence test. In general, it should be noticed that the organisation is to create organisational and logistic capacity of conducting the mentoring programme (define when sessions may occur, how documentation should be prepared, etc.).
