Assessing the Need for a Formal Mentoring Program: The Effect of Age and Sex
Assessing the Need for a Formal Mentoring Program: The Effect of Age and Sex
This paper examined the results of a needs analysis conducted by a hospital located in southeast Texas which focused on the potential benefits of a formal mentoring program for younger and female employees. Relying on the current literature regarding the Millennial generation (Gen Y) and the differences in career opportunities and mentoring needs between men and women, this study found that sex but not age may predict the mentoring needs of employees.
