The Mentoring Programme is based on an internationally recognised, tried and tested system. However it has been adapted to suit the Company's specific aims and needs and has been linked with systems and programmes which are currently in operation in Batelco's recently launched Talent Centre.
Mentoring is the pairing of people who want to learn and grow, with those people who are willing and proficient at imparting knowledge and skills.
The first phase of the new Mentoring Programme has already begun with 7 volunteer mentors - all Batelco senior managers with vast local and international experience in the telecommunications business, and 9 mentorees.
Each candidate has already undergone individual profiling in Batelco's Talent Centre in order to identify their strong and weak skill areas, prior to being assigned to one of the mentors. Each Mentor's task is to assist their mentoree reach their full potential by acting as a guide, adviser, coach and counsellor at various stages throughout the process.
"The essence of pairing is to match the needs of the Mentoree with the strengths and experience of the Mentor," said Batelco Head of Corporate Affairs Ahmed Al Janahi.
"The Mentoring Programme allows senior Batelco managers to enhance the knowledge of middle managers and general staff by giving them the tools necessary to advance their careers within the Company."
Once established, Batelco is planning to enlist the assistance of senior personnel from other leading Bahrani and Middle Eastern companies to act as mentors to Batelco staff.
"By enlisting the assistance of top players from other leading companies, not necessarily restricted to the telecommunications business, Batelco personnel can benefit from an exchange of knowledge in order to broaden the Company's expertise," added Mr Al Janahi.
