Hi, I am working with a software development center and trying to implement a formal mentoring process within the organization. I have read quite a few articles on the process, etc. The issues I am facing include what will motivate the mentors as well as the mentees to take it up seriously.
I wanted to know if there is any formal process in your organization and if it has succeeded, please share the same.

I have seen a number of organizations successfully implement mentoring programs based on the concepts in the People CMM (Curtis, Hefley, and Miller, Pearson). These concepts build on simple mentoring and assistance into a more formal set of mentoring programs, each with defined objectives and structure. They lay the groundwork for mentors to support individuals and groups seeking to continually improve, such as in performing Six Sigma projects or individualized personal improvement projects.

Hi Chetna, I am a student and maybe I don't have as much knowledge as you. Have you made any attempt to promote a mentoring program? In your company, are they giving incentives and rewards to mentors? Isn't it one of the ways to inspire mentors?

Understanding Mentoring in Organizations
Mentoring is a developmental activity that benefits both the organization and the mentee (learner). The mentor, who is typically a senior person and acts as a guide, coach, trainer, and counselor, helps develop their subordinate. The mentee gains a wealth of knowledge and experience from the mentor.
There are no specific targets in mentoring, although the development of the mentee is a general goal. However, mentoring is not a Key Result Area (KRA) that warrants rewards or incentives. It is considered a secondary duty. The mentor aims to develop the entire personality or character of the mentee. How can you pay incentives for developing personality or building character?
Ok...

Incentives for Mentoring Programs
I am a student and may not have as much knowledge as you do. Have you made any attempts to promote a mentoring program? Does your company provide incentives and rewards to mentors? Isn't it one way to inspire mentors?
