Description
Book SynopsisMentoring has become an essential ingredient in the success of diversity management in the workplace and in achieving societal change to accommodate and value difference. This case book brings together a wide range of approaches to designing, implementing, sustaining and evaluating mentoring programmes. It explores what makes mentoring work in a diversity context, and what undermines it; what constitutes good practice and what to avoid.
The international case studies cover many different aspects of difference, including race, culture, physical and mental disability, gender and sexual preference, Thoughtful analysis of these cases reveals many practical lessons for what does and doesnât work well in different contexts.
Edited by three leading authorities in the field, this case book is an essential companion for anyone aiming to establish a mentoring programme in the areas of equal opportunities, diversity management, or leveraging diversity.
