MENTORING MODEL
Ok Tedi’s Mentoring Model and Program is designed to support both the Mentor and Mentee across the lifecycle of their mentoring relationship from forming to performing and achieving their goals.
The process is governed by Ok Tedi’s Mentoring Charter.
This Mentoring Module is a live, online resource that is regularly updated. It contains practical knowledge and tools to support and maximise the outcomes from mentoring that takes place in a stand alone mentoring relationship or as part of an Ok Tedi initiative such as the RISE Program and LDP2.
Stages of the Mentoring Process Mentor & Mentee Profiles: Mentor’s and mentee’s profiles are developed to support the matching process. Profiles draw upon existing employee data combined with written responses on career life experiences, interests, challenges and goals.
Mentor matching: The matching process is based on the mentee’s selection of a mentor and the alignment of goals and experiences. Ideally, mentors are not the mentee’s line manager.
Growing together: A 3-hour mentoring skills workshop will provide role clarity, process and skills to successfully commence and develop mentoring relationships.
This Mentoring Module provides guidelines, tools and resources that support both mentors and mentees in delivering goals and creating two-way value from the process.
Two-way feedback: Qualitative and quantitative two-way feedback plays an important role in supporting the effectiveness of the mentoring sessions and relationships. Feedback will also be used to monitor and measure the overall effectiveness of mentoring initiatives.
Achieving goals: SMART goals are set and recorded at the beginning of the process to support the mentor and mentee in working towards and tracking the achievement of long-term goals and actions.
