How will I benefit from being a mentor or a mentee?

Like your mom always told you, what you get out of an experience depends on what you put into it. That's especially true with mentoring. However, we can tell you that many people (both mentors and mentees) who participate in mentoring relationships experience:

  • Enhanced promotion rates

  • Higher salaries

  • Accelerated career mobility

  • Improved professional identity

  • Greater professional competence

  • Increased career satisfaction

  • Greater acceptance within their organization

  • Decreased job stress and role conflict

  • Internal satisfaction and fulfillment

  • Enhanced creativity and professional synergy

  • Career and personal rejuvenation

  • Development of a loyal support base

  • Generativity (pleasure associated with shaping future generations)

  • Increased productivity

  • Decreased turnover
