Mentorship: a key to remaining relevant after 50? (Part 12 of 17)

If you are the CEO

If you are the CEO

The main step is a formal announcement that your agency is creating a structured mentorship program. There are more than a few advantages, but key:

  • It will accelerate the professional growth of everyone in the agency. Young people because they will learn from people with tons of experience. Older workers because they will need to relearn a lot and learn new technologies. It’s a win/win.
  • It will add value to everyone’s life, expanding talent and improving future employability of everyone involved.
  • And, selfishly, in an industry where the only differentiating factor is talent, it will improve the talent pool and, hopefully, the quality and quantity of clients that choose your agency.

We suggest:

  • Agency-Wide Announcement: Introduce the mentoring program through an agency-wide meeting or webinar, outlining its objectives, benefits, and structure.
  • Information Sessions: Hold department-specific sessions to explain the program's relevance to each team, encouraging participation from both potential mentors and mentees.
