While traditional mentoring is still widely embraced within many businesses, the concept of reverse mentoring is gaining ground. In the context of reverse mentoring, junior employees take on the role of mentors, guiding their more senior counterparts who become the mentees.

Reverse mentoring helps organisations tackle several critical challenges, such as the generation gap. In today’s diverse workforce, intergenerational collaboration is vital. By encouraging team members who are in the earlier stages of their career to share their insights and knowledge with more tenured colleagues, reverse mentoring helps improve communication and understanding between different age groups and different areas of responsibility across the workforce, bringing benefits to individuals and to the wider business.
