This page will be further developed to assign IH Mentors and Mentees by region based on common interests and need.

Mentoring

The Army definition of mentorship is, “The voluntary developmental relationship that exists between a person of greater experience and a person of lesser experience that is characterized by mutual trust and respect.”

What do I need to know about mentorship?

·         Mentorship is an integral part of employee development

·        Employees benefit from wisdom, lessons learned, and experiences of mentors.                              Mentoring takes place when a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps a less experienced or less knowledgeable person

·         The Army IH mentorship initiative will evolve into a formal program for all employees regardless of grade or position

·         Leaders’, establishing an environment of mentorship in your program office is a simple, but critical step in developing employee skill sets

·          DA PAM 690-46   provides the background for mentoring Army Civilians

·         See also  DA PAM 690-43   for additional information on how to counsel and help employees develop their careers through mentorship

·         Additional Resources:  Army Mentorship Handbook  ,  Army Mentorship Tools & Resources 

·         If you are an Army IH staff member without a mentor or an Army IH staff member who would like to participate by being a mentor, please contact the IH Training Coordinator.
