“…In this story, Odysseus tells his loyal and experienced friend, namely, Mentor (a person who has great wisdom and trustworthy) to teach his son, namely, Telemachus (a mentee or protégé who has less experience) about the tips for handling challenging lifestyles before he goes to the Trojan War (Edlind & Haensly 1985;Ismail et al 2005;Ismail et al 2006;Merriam 1993). This story explains that mentors are the elderly who have wisdom, experiences and can be trusted to educate young men with little experience and knowledge (Little et al 2010;Johnson et al 1991;Russell & Adams 1997;Wanguri 1996).…”

“…In addition, mentoring has been shown to bolster trust, which further hastens engagement (Lester et al, 2011).

Abstract:In the present competitive business environment, organisations are far more focusing on their employees. The workforce is undergoing tremendous transformation characterised by the influx of Gen Y employees, making them the significant segment of the workforce. However, they are inherently different in attitude and work ethics from their predecessors, and have a strong tendency to switch jobs frequently. Thus, it is imperative to effectively retain this generation for organisational sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to explore certain human resource interventions for the retention of Gen Y employees. Furthermore, consistent with the extant literature, this study presents a conceptual model integrating mentoring and social media to retain Gen Y employees. The conceptual model is significant for scholars as well as professionals. It provides useful insights to assist management in bolstering the retention rates among Gen Y employees. Future avenues of research are also recommended thereafter.

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a diversity awareness training programme. A sample of 382 employees from four different departments within a large accounting firm was used to form the groups of a simulated Solomon four-group design. The impact of a two-day workshop on diversity awareness was assessed using a 68-item questionnaire designed to measure awareness of self, impact of differences, performance management, career development, teamwork, work-family needs, participation, organisational culture, relationship building, and general satisfaction with the organisation. Opsomming Die doel met hierdie studie was om die effektiwiteit van ‘n bewustheid-van-diversiteit opleidingsprogram te bepaal. Werknemers uit vier departemente van ‘n groot ouditeursfirma het die groepe van ‘n gesimuleerde Solomon viergroepontwerp gevorm (N = 382). Die impak van ‘n tweedagwerkwinkel oor bewustheid-van-diversiteit is bepaal met ‘n 68-item vraelys wat ontwikkel is om bewustheid van die self, impak van verskille, prestasiebestuur, loopbaanontwikkeling, spanwerk, werk-gesinsbehoeftes, deelname, organisasiekultuur, ontwikkeling van verhoudings, en algemene tevredenheid met die organisasie te meet.
