There are many benefits from this Program including:

1. Participants learn to become mentors themselves – this in itself has many benefits and can often lead to a positive cultural change within the organisation
2. Participants experience a sense of achievement – not only for themselves but also for having assisted another
3. Participants are able to measure their own progress with self-assessment tools and a 360-degree feedback process at the beginning and end of the program - and are provided with tools to assist them to analyse this information, including how to interpret possible anomalies.
4. Workplace improvement projects that give participants an opportunity to make a real difference to their working environment - and the benefits to the organisation can often amount to savings in the thousands of dollars
5. Provides the opportunity to network with others
6. The opportunity for participants to not only work through the personal and professional development activities, but to also have someone to challenge their thoughts – to help them to be the best they can be!
7. Online learning supported by printed materials makes it ideal for participants to complete when and where they choose!

1. Cost-effective professional development - saving your organisation time and money
2. Increased staff retention and loyalty - in most cases if you look after your staff by providing them with innovative programs such as this, they will look after you
3. Will complement any current or proposed traditional mentoring programs by expanding the range and reach of participants engaged. And as it is ready to roll out is able to be taken up by your organisation/community group in an timely manner.
4. Overcomes traditional mentoring barriers. The Partnering for Success Mentoring Programs are the result of many years of trials and research. Whereas most mentoring programs are either unstructured or rely on there being an adequate number of accommodating senior managers/coaches, the programs have been designed in such a way that the participants at all levels are able to mentor each other. Because of the way it is structured, this program reduces some of the barriers to traditional mentoring relationships.
5. Flexibility in delivery is provided by the fact that the discussion sheet materials are provided in hard copy as well as being available for download - meaning that participants do not have to travel off-site for training (nor do they have to be away from the workplace en masse) and that they have the availability of accessing the learning materials at work, at home, or at another appropriate time and location of their (or your) choosing
6. Sustainability of outcomes is an inherent part of the mentoring program design itself. The additional benefits of learning to become a mentor and the intrinsic value of this program are elements that sets it apart from other more basic and/or traditional mentoring programs.
7. Measurability. You are able to continually monitor the program through the use of regular online feedback sheets the participants complete and the data becomes available for analysis.
