The Magic of Mentoring
Mentoring is a vital ingredient to building the next generation of leaders.
Our hospitality superheroes are essential to supporting our apprentices and sharing their wisdom and experience.
We see the magic of mentoring daily at Umbrella Training and here are some of the statistics that should inspire you to mentor, be mentored and set up mentoring schemes in your organisation.
71% of Fortune 500 companies have mentoring programs that directly affect performance, productivity and innovation (Centre for Workplace Leadership 2016).
Mentees are promoted five times more often than those not in a mentoring programme (Centre for Workplace Leadership 2016).
Retention rates were higher for both mentees (22% more) and mentors (20% more) than for employees who did not participate in a mentoring program (Centre for Workplace Leadership 2016).
84% become proficient in their roles faster (Harvard Business Review 2015)
89% of those mentored, go on to mentor themselves contributing to a culture of learning and mentoring (Harvard Business Review 2015)
Announcing our partnership
We will be announcing our partnership with a brand-new mentoring online system where apprentices will have personalised mentor matches with either their own employer mentors from their workplace or from other approved organisations, plus the opportunity to actually participate online or in person with structured lectures and one to ones with our selected superheroes through our “re-imagined programme” launching in January 2021.
The gamification feature that comes with our new system will really support the next generation of hospitality leaders in a unique and modern way which adds to the learning experience not seen before – ever!
