Working Groups - Mentoring

Reps
#1

Owners: Shahid

Problem statement
We haven’t been able to provide a proper mentoring to our Reps. In the past, our mentorship role is only limited to budget review. We haven’t been able to provide proper coaching, personal/professional development for Reps, and proper guidance for making the impact. Our mentorship structure is mainly built around bureaucratic tasks. We have fantastic mentors who are doing a great job but we’re also not supporting them actively.

Goal:
The goal of this working group is to update the mentorship structure (including educational materials and staff support) to provide more coaching and personal/professional development for Reps, rather than a focus on bureaucratic tasks. We will also try to create ways to recognize the impact that Reps are having ranging from a recognition culture to LinkedIn recommendations. The another important goal of this working group is to introduce a 1 year term to all roles within Reps. After 1 year all different roles need to be evaluated and reconfirmed.

Possible Questions that need to be answered:

  • How are the trainings going to to be done?
  • How Reps continue with fx area in observe with mentor for fx area?
  • Will mentors be categorized as well? How will this applied to existing mentors?
  • Are we assuming leadership?Where is the difference between the Participation Team and Mentors?
  • After this program optimization I become a functional Rep, do I need to contact a “Resources” Rep to have a budget filed for an event?
  • How does the Mentor <-> Mentee relationship change?Who can become a mentor? Any rep or does it have to be a specific Reps group?
