Abstract

The article presents the manners in which mentoring can be used by organizations. Prior to the implementation of mentoring programs, the organization's preparation level for implementing such programs should be evaluated. Evaluating the organization's readiness forms part of the pre-implementation analysis, which allows the determination of the organization's initial level of commitment to employee development and talent retention. The proposed model of preparing the organization for implementing mentoring programs enables management to determine the scope of human resource management changes that will be introduced. The tool used to carry out the research takes into consideration four areas of organization management: the organization's values and strategies; the development of the organization and its employees; setting objectives, conducting performance appraisals and motivating employees; cooperation and relationships within the organization. The article outlines the procedure of using the tool to carry out research, including both data gathering and analysis. The presented tool may prove useful during the pre-implementation analysis phase in all kinds of organizations that wish to introduce mentoring into their operations.
