DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) JANUARY 16, 2017

Since 2012 Prositions has been at the forefront of the growing movement to help automate and facilitate mentoring in the workplace. In honor of International Mentoring Day (January 17, 2017) they are giving back to the mentoring community by offering their new How to Build a Mentoring Program Guide complimentary to the public and announcing the release of the new MentorString mobile application.

“Mentoring spans more than just a month, but to honor this occasion we’re happy to offer our comprehensive mentoring guide to help organizations create or improve their mentoring programs,” stated Frank Russell, CEO of Prositions, Inc. “A mentoring program is one of the most effective and valuable tools an organization can implement to increase employee engagement and improve employee performance on the job.”

However, building a mentoring program that works can be challenging. Prositions’ new workbook, How to Build a Mentoring Program that Works, will help human resource professionals understand the critical components of a successful mentoring program and step through the process of creating and implementing it in their organization. The workbook starts by helping users identify clear goals and create buy-in from senior leadership and support from stakeholders. Then users work through the design of their mentoring program to fit with their organization’s needs and culture, while identifying how to prepare mentors and mentees for their new roles. Additional steps include planning the launch and implementation process and determining how to measure the impact and success of the program.

Along with this free guide, Prositions is also releasing its new MentorString mobile application. It is built for use with the cloud-based version of the software to access notifications, development/action plans, and profiles from anywhere and at any time. The MentorString software helps organizations facilitate and automate a mentoring program, connect and develop employees in an organization of any size, and deliver individual action/development plans to accelerate learning.

“The MentorString app has been in development for almost a year, and the entire team is excited to finally see it in the app store,” said Quinten Powell, Senior Product Developer at Prositions, Inc. “We’ll continue to create and add new features as we get feedback from our customer base. The app is yet another convenient way users can access all the valuable tools, connections, and resources available in MentorString.”

How to Mentor Veterans at Work – A New Webinar Hosted by Prositions

Webinar DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) January 28, 2015

On Wednesday, February 17th from 11:00am to 12:00pm CST, Prositions is hosting a free webinar titled “How to Build a Veteran Mentoring Program in 5 Easy Steps.” The webinar is based on extensive research, observations, and best practices gleaned from dozens of Prositions’ successful veteran initiatives. It is designed to provide valuable takeaways for veteran program managers, HR professionals, and other interested participants to use in the creation and adoption of their own veteran mentoring initiatives.

“We believe creating a mentoring program is one of the most valuable tools an organization can use to help veterans,” stated Frank Russell, CEO at Prositions, Inc. “A well-designed and supported program can deliver significant benefits and ROI for the organization. The challenge is knowing which actions are effective and results-driven. That’s where this webinar can help.”

Mentoring programs tailored specifically for veterans have proven to be effective in supporting their success in the civilian workforce. This webinar will outline five key steps to help organizations build an effective mentoring program along with strategies to implement this type of veteran initiative.

“This new webinar will provide value to every participant, regardless of where they are in the mentoring program process,” assured Craig Robbins, webinar leader and Director of Talent Development Solutions at Prositions, Inc. “We are going to discuss the challenges veterans face when transitioning back into the civilian workforce and how an employer-provided mentoring program can help bridge that gap. I know from personal experience, having transitioned back into the civilian workforce more than once, that it is extremely important to have someone who can answer your questions and provide guidance and support in the areas you need it most.”

Since 2011 Prositions has been at the forefront of the growing movement to mentor in the workplace. Additionally, the benefits of mentoring can have a significant impact on the veteran populations within these organizations. In 2012 Prositions launched its original ProVeteran Program to help returning veterans find jobs in the civilian workplace. The program’s success led to its endorsement by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). In January of 2015, Prositions expanded this outreach program to offer its new software application, MentorString, free to any organization that wants to coach and mentor veterans on the job. To date, the ProVeteran Program has assisted thousands of veterans nationwide.

New Solution to Retain Top Talent

WEST DES MOINES, IA (PRWEB) JULY 31, 2012

Contrary to what most employers believe, 88% of employees leave their jobs for reasons other than pay. Primary reasons include that there isn’t enough encouragement and feedback, employees feel devalued or there are too few growth and advancement opportunities. Over 50% of employees will leave an organization within the first two years, and 25% will leave within the first six months.

Most organizations make a significant investment in training and developing their talent. When that talent leaves an organization much of that investment is lost. Employee turnover can be expensive. It can cost more than twice an employee’s annual base salary to replace them, and nearly 70% of the organizations polled said they’ve had difficulties recruiting and finding qualified talent.

“Our research indicates that the organizations that do the best job of attracting and retaining talent usually have effective performance coaching and mentoring programs,” said Robin Salsberry, President of Prositions, an international career-consulting firm headquartered in West Des Moines, IA. “ The problem that many organizations face is that they simply don’t have the resources or knowledge to set up a program that works.”

To fill this need, Prositions is launching a new service to provide third party talent coaching and mentoring, with a twist. Leveraging the power of high tech with high touch, Prositions is combining experienced career coaches and mentors, with a technology-based delivery model.

“It all starts with a highly qualified team of coaches and mentors that have decades of experience dealing with performance and career related issues,” said Tom Russell, Senior Career Strategist, based out of New York City. “Our coaches are independently certified and leverage the latest technology, including, ProCareerMentor, our powerful mentoring software, to tailor a customized solution for each organization and candidate.”

ProCareerMentor includes online assessments, career development tools and a performance improvement methodology. “We employ a simple but powerful coaching model that is very easy to use and highly effective, said Russell, “We also teach this coaching methodology to the organization’s leaders so they can use it to help improve the performance of their entire team.”

This new mentoring service also matches a candidate’s background, experience and qualifications with the appropriate Prositions’ coaches and mentors, resulting in optimal benefit for both the individual and the organization. This ensures that the candidates receive the right coaching strategy and message to meet their needs and the needs of the organization.

Prositions Inc. is a rapidly growing company that provides career transition services to help organizations and individuals manage their career change process. Prositions helps to maintain a company’s positive image, while giving affected employees a pain-free path to their next career prospect, at a very competitive price. Prositions does this in a unique and advanced way by combining the power of the Internet with an international network of career experts.
