Hi Everybody,
I am planning to conduct a training program on "workplace Mentoring" for an Engineering Company to emphasize the importance of Mentoring in the workplace. Can you please help me with some Training Manual with 'sample Role play' Activity stuff? Rather than theory, I am looking for more sample role-play and game activities related to workplace mentoring.

Dear VM Lakshminarayanan,
You have not provided adequate information on your requirements. Are you an external trainer or internal? What is the nature of the industry? Who are the mentors and who are the mentees? What are their qualifications? On what basis have their selections been made? Is there an assumption that managers are obviously good mentors too? Have the mentors understood the values and vision of the company? What if there is a mismatch in the mentor-mentee pair? How can you ensure that the relationship progresses smoothly rather than resulting in conflict and demotivation? How will you ensure that initially there is enthusiasm and the mentoring program is launched with much fanfare but it does not fizzle out over time?
Conducting training on a Formal Mentoring Program is no easy task. It requires tremendous maturity, as I have been conducting mentoring training for quite some time.
Secondly, games, role plays, or activities are only the means and not the end. Are you clear about the end result of your mentoring program or at least about the training program itself?
As a trainer, you need to conduct training on how to implement policies on formal mentoring. Again, the policy on mentoring is not something to be downloaded from the internet; it has to be customized according to your company's or client's requirements. Have you customized the policy?
It is the duty of mentors and mentees to implement this policy earnestly. It is this policy that brings similarity in the various pairs of mentor and mentee. The variation in handling the mentoring activity will undermine the spirit of the mentoring program.
