What is Mentoring?

Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field. Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.

Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment? Traditional mentoring has its limits. Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and training sessions. They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring. The world of work is changing. More and more, organizations are looking for secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.
