Mentoring

A developmental relationship where an experienced professional guides a less experienced one.

Full Definition

Mentoring is a professional development relationship in which an experienced individual (mentor) provides guidance, support, and advice to a less experienced person (mentee). Unlike coaching (which focuses on specific performance goals), mentoring is typically longer-term and covers broader career development, networking, and organizational navigation. Formal mentoring programmes match mentors and mentees based on development goals, and HR platforms can facilitate matching, scheduling, and progress tracking.
