Companies around the globe are struggling to manage and motivate their workforces and enable productivity while dealing with economic uncertainty and layoffs. And while it may seem odd to think about employee retention during this crisis, there’s never been a more important time to focus on how you are supporting your employees—and the future of your business.
This is the words from Katherine Plumhoff in here article «The COVID-19 Crisis is a Mentorship Opportunity: Here’s How to Take Advantage of It»
Its the first article I am reading about post covid-19 and I could not be more agreed. In these crisis you must ensure that your employee are ok and feeling taken care off.
And she is very practical, and says that: mentorship is one of the most cost-effective ways you can invest in training and promoting diverse talent. You don’t need to shell out for expensive conferences. You probably already know who the rising stars at the junior levels of your organization are. You just need to set them up with someone more senior who can help them navigate the transition to a leadership role.

The Covid-19 period that we have been in for quite some time now, challenges our working methods.
Suddenly, you can't attend the scheduled meeting, work in projects at work, or attend a conference.
But we got it, schools have been teaching online, conferences and concerts have been online, even the county championships and the Norwegian Enterprise (Young Enterprise in Oslo and Norway) have been conducted.
I hope people don't just forget this and go back to everyday life as they knew it before Covid-19.
Challenge yourself by looking critically at your work methods, do you really need to go to another city or country for that meeting?
Good luck!
Right now we’re all being challenged. Whether it is in the family, with friends or in the business world how much has changed in a short time. And even though we sometimes say «I like change and development», the truth is that we often like the changes we choose for ourselves. Now it can feel overwhelming and paralyzing, it can feel like it’s completely out of our control. And that’s it and we have to accept it.
I have, after 2 weeks in quarantine and 4 weeks with home office, new working methods have pushed me, and now become part of my everyday life. It was just jumping into it and now I’ve had lectures and meetings online and it works really well. For others, there are even bigger changes and one sees that jobs disappear and with that income base. But I hope everyone finds their inner strength, and gets through this until we get «normal» times. Keep your heart warm – your head cold – and your hands clean …
I heard this expression at a conference in Oslo on learning behavior and thought it was our everyday life. We navigate every single day in a society that is constantly changing. And how can we do this best then, not only get through but also get upwards. We will always be a better version of ourselves, become better, become wiser.
A mentor is not just someone who has walked the trail before or done what you are going into, but also a conversation partner. Having a mentor just gets more and more important.
This is always a fantastic evening, with all the mentee and mentors. First I meet the mentee for some Feedback and one of the fun question to Ask is «What do you think your mentor have learned from you»?At first they dont know But after some time they say that maybe Young spirit, new perspective on things and own reflection is some of the things. And asking the mentor the same question they say Exactly the same.
It was a really good time with some wine and three course dinner. We give out diploma to the mentees and crystal to the mentors. And the mentees bring flowers to their mentor and to is coordinaters.
We are so lucky that all the mentors are volunteers and we introduced them to some tools we use, called «The Big Five». Its basically five tools which is important as a mentor, active listening – effective questions – feedback – accountability – recognition.
Its always so funny when we are doing the first excercise, when you are 2on2 and one is telling a story and the other is like a stone face… and after 3 minutes we change. It is a simple excercise to point out the importance of being presence when you meet you’re mentee and also listen actively.
And then they do it all over. but this time they start to ask questions.
After that we went through the program and the plans for this four month.
First they work with «Where are you»? with strength, weaknesses and values. And then they go into «Where do you want to go»? and here they will dream and work with SMART-goals.
And in the end «What do you need to get there»?
The participants are ready for their first training in Mentor-LELO mentoring program in Stavanger for refugee. We start with Lifeplanning which would be their fundament and they will do a personal travel within themselves.
Our first gathering in Stavanger was to recruit refugees and mentors for Mentor-LELO´s first mentoring program in Stavanger. We have offices in the innovation park and we where 22 people interested. at this first gathering the main focus is to get to known the people, the people should have a positive attitude too us and that they know what a mentoring program is. We had some training within some personality analysis, we use it to get to know them and to match mentee and mentor.
In addition Latifa Anda, my partner in Mentor-LELO her story, she is a refugee herself, and Shabana Rehman Gaarder told about Born Free initiative and why they wanted to be collaborator with us. And I was talking about being in a mentoring program and the schedule for this program.
