Why mentorship is a win for all

Mentorship can be a powerful tool in the workplace. Not only is it a great way for employees to hone their skills and progress, but managers can better their leadership capabilities. In this episode of The HR Leader, host Jack Campbell was joined by the University of South Australia's research assistant, Dr Debbie Devis, who discussed the power of mentorship. Dr Devis also delved into the barriers women face in the workplace, especially the STEM fields, and how workplaces, and the women who work there, can turn negative attitudes around. The transferring of skills was touched upon, as well as how organisations can benefit by opening up their talent pools and taking advantage of skills that may be different to the standard.
