Is your organization suffering the effects of the "great resignation" or concerned about experienced leaders retiring with lack of talent to fill the positions once they leave?
Mentoring can help fill knowledge gaps within your organization while also keeping employees supported and engaged through in-depth discussions about their careers. Mentors can also help with advice, career planning, accountability, reinforcement and constructive role modeling.
CCUA offers a free National Mentorship program for all credit union employees and board directors that opens for registration each April. The program helps connect experienced leaders with those looking for guidance, support and skill development in their roles. The mentorship program also allows leaders to transfer their unique knowledge of the system to their mentees, enabling them to grow their careers and fulfill their full potential – a win-win for the mentees and the credit union system as a whole.
Even more benefits of mentoring
A recent survey of young Canadians demonstrated that those who were mentored were:
- 3X more likely to report good or excellent mental health
- 2X as likely to report a strong sense of belonging
