Mentorship in Professional Safety: Essential Thoughts on the Mentor & Value to the Mentee

Mentorship in business is both an essential activity and unique skill serving as a powerful asset in the world of safety professionals. Critical to the development of aspiring, new or experienced safety professionals, mentorship, as will be highlighted, does not reside solely in the purview of managers and supervisors. Mentorship, that at its core, assists the safety professional in entering the field, achieving technical, operational and business growth and ultimately in becoming leaders is embedded in the model and discussion. Dan will review with us thoughts on a 4 Quadrant Mentorship Model, its connection to safety as well as the important roles of both the mentor and mentee.
