About this Event
Are you expecting your team leaders to mentor someone at work but not confident they know how to get the best out of them?
Join our face-to-face engaging and practical workshop which focuses on equipping work-based mentors with the skills, tools, and confidence to guide and support colleagues effectively. This interactive training session will be held at our Wakefield Office. It will last approximately 3 hours and is designed to equip work-based mentors with the essential skills, tools, and confidence to support and guide mentees effectively in the workplace.
Participants will explore the core principles of mentoring, develop practical communication and feedback techniques, and learn how to foster a supportive and developmental mentoring relationship. The session combines theory with practical exercises to ensure mentors can apply their learning immediately in real-world contexts.
