Creating a mentorship program is one way a company can bring in new young talent and prepare them to be the leaders of the future within the company. To best implement a program of this caliber you need to recruit your more experienced employees to take a new hire under their wing and teach them the ropes along the way. This is likely to boost your retention rate by teaching people when they are on the job and it makes the job more interesting to learn from a more senior person. The new hire is able to have a “go to” person which gives them a sense of a solid network of supporters and both benefit from the perspective of the other person in the mentoring partnership.
