What is Reverse Mentoring?

Reverse mentoring is a workplace mentoring relationship between a senior manager (the protégé in the relationship) and a junior employee (the mentor in the relationship) to facilitate learning and development. Research has shown that in addition to promoting relationship building, knowledge transfer, and professional development, Reverse Mentoring improves employee engagement and reduces job plateauing in older workers. Also, Reverse Mentoring fosters intellectual stimulation for younger workers, allowing these emerging leaders to understand their organizations better while engaging in meaningful work. Ultimately Reverse Mentoring improves employee retention, improving the culture and competitiveness of the enterprise.
