Staff-to-staff mentoring can lead to improved employee retention, morale building, ongoing career development and organizational learning. A good mentor can be likened to someone providing a road map for you to achieve your goals, and then letting you drive the car.<\/p>\n

In some organizations, a formal mentorship program is in place. However, an informal culture of mentorship can be just as powerful. We’ve compiled three stories about co-workers mentoring each other in locations around the United States.<\/p>\n

‘There Should Be Something More’<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Three years ago, Heather Clementz, who started her healthcare career as a certified nursing assistant at Good Samaritan Society \u2013 Geneseo Village, Illinois, decided she needed a change. \u201cI was married with two kids and working the second shift,\u201d says Heather. \u201cThe hours weren\u2019t the most convenient and I was paying a babysitter almost more than I was making.\u201d<\/p>\n

She knew there were things she was passionate about at work. \u201cI knew there should be something more,\u201d says Heather. \u201cI wanted to do more, to help more, not just for me but for our residents, also.\u201d So she approached Jodi Barnhart, health information manager at Geneseo Village, to ask for guidance in moving her career forward.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI always admired Jodi. She\u2019s one of those people that has an infectious positive attitude and is very passionate about her work and the residents.\u201d \u2014Heather Clementz, Good Samaritan Society employee<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Since making the connection, Heather has become Jodi\u2019s understudy in health information management. Jodi helped her to look into schools for medical insurance coding and provided hands-on training. \u201cShe keeps her fingers in everything,\u201d says Jodi. \u201cHeather comes in every Friday for three hours. She does the coding, the back-ups and anything else we need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heather now has a clear goal in mind. \u201cI really wouldn\u2019t mind taking over for Jodi when she retires,\u201d says Heather.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has expressed interest in my job when I retire someday,\u201d says Jodi. \u201cAnd that\u2019s fine with me!\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Her Talents Are Now Fully Utilized’<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Melisa Mendoza got her start working in the campus laundry at Good Samaritan Society \u2013 Manzano Del Sol Village, Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Recently, an opening for a senior living administrative assistant became available. Melisa felt that getting this job would be a move forward in her career, so she applied.<\/p>\n

Although external candidates had more formal experience in the realm of administrative support, Vera Schaffer, resident services director at Manzano Del Sol Village, was attracted to Melisa\u2019s excellent customer service skills, strong work ethic and common sense.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe interviewed lots of people for the senior living job, but she really was the right person for the position.\u201d \u2014Vera Schaffer, resident services director at Manzano Del Sol Village<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since joining the department, Vera and her team have taken Melisa under their wing to mentor her in all of the aspects of her new role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that I have grown exponentially because of this opportunity,\u201d says Melisa.<\/p>\n

A Formal Mentoring Program for Nursing Directors<\/strong>\"\" <\/strong><\/h3>\n

In some cases, a more formal mentorship is beneficial. Katie Davis, executive director at Good Samaritan Society \u2013 Albert Lea and Good Samaritan Society \u2013 Comforcare in Minnesota, utilizes a mentoring program in onboarding new directors of nursing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing we do is take a look at the previous experience of the mentee,\u201d says Katie. \u201cThen we look at their goals as well as goals within our center.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next step is to put a strategic plan in place. The plan includes working with all of the departments so the new director of nursing can become familiarized with all facets of the center. A spiritual component is also included.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe make sure we include the faith-based mission of the Society in our mentorship program,\u201d says Katie. \u201cThat is central to what we do in this organization.\u201d This strategy is designed to provide invaluable developmental support to a new hire. Through the use of the mentorship program, Katie has seen improved outcomes throughout the organization.<\/p>\n

\n

“We\u2019ve seen this as a great booster for team building and morale Not to mention the learning aspect of it. Our directors of nursing get to see all of the departments in action, which provides them with a great perspective right away.\u201d \u2014Katie Davis, executive director, Good Samaritan Society in Albert Lea and Austin, Minnesota<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the formalized director of nursing program, Albert Lea also offers student internships. This covers roles such as nursing, social services, medical records, administration, nutrition services and community relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
