Mentoring Florence
Welcome to the mentoring program in Florence. As a mentor, you play a crucial role in talent development. This commitment represents 30 to 60 minutes monthly, distributed as needed.
Mentoring Objectives
1
Knowledge Platform

Personal Development

The mentor's values are commitment, sharing, consideration, benevolence, and confidentiality.
What Mentoring is Not:
Favoritism
Florence values talent and equal opportunities. The victories of the talents remain theirs.
A Copy/Paste
Each talent and mentor is unique. The uniqueness of each is honored.
A Recruitment
Mentoring does not in any way commit to hiring the talent in one's company, nor even to have them apply by principle.
Sponsorship
No financial support is expected. It is a relationship of listening and advice.
Frequency and Duration of Meetings
1
Monthly Frequency
Meetings should take place at least once a month, with flexibility to accommodate the schedules of mentors and talents.
2
Flexibility
Sessions can be conducted via video, in-person, by phone, or by email. It can also be a simple connection with a member of your network who can answer the talent's questions.
